TopicNon-constant acceleration

5 A particle \(P\) is moving along a straight line with acceleration \(3 \mathrm { ku } - \mathrm { kv }\) where \(v\) is its velocity at time \(t\), \(u\) is its initial velocity and \(k\) is a constant. The velocity and acceleration of \(P\) are both in the direction of increasing displacement from the initial position.
  1. Find the time taken for \(P\) to achieve a velocity of \(2 u\).
  2. Find an expression for the displacement of \(P\) from its initial position when its velocity is \(2 u\).
