TopicNon-constant acceleration

7 A particle moves in a straight line, starting from rest at a point \(O\), and comes to instantaneous rest at a point \(P\). The velocity of the particle at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after leaving \(O\) is \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), where $$v = 0.6 t ^ { 2 } - 0.12 t ^ { 3 }$$
  1. Show that the distance \(O P\) is 6.25 m .
    On another occasion, the particle also moves in the same straight line. On this occasion, the displacement of the particle at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after leaving \(O\) is \(s \mathrm {~m}\), where $$s = k t ^ { 3 } + c t ^ { 5 }$$ It is given that the particle passes point \(P\) with velocity \(1.25 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at time \(t = 5\).
  2. Find the values of the constants \(k\) and \(c\).
  3. Find the acceleration of the particle at time \(t = 5\).
    If you use the following lined page to complete the answer(s) to any question(s), the question number(s) must be clearly shown.
