TopicNon-constant acceleration

6 A particle \(P\) moving in a straight line has displacement \(x \mathrm {~m}\) from a fixed point \(O\) on the line and velocity \(v \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\). The acceleration of \(P\), in \(\mathrm { ms } ^ { - 2 }\), is given by \(6 v \sqrt { v + 9 }\). When \(t = 0 , x = 2\) and \(v = 72\).
  1. Find an expression for \(v\) in terms of \(x\).
  2. Find an expression for \(x\) in terms of \(t\).
