A particle P moves in a straight line, starting from a point O with velocity 1.72 m s-1. The acceleration a m s-2 of the particle, t s after leaving O, is given by a = 0.1t3/2.
(a) Find the value of t when the velocity of P is 3 m s-1.
\((b) Find the displacement of P from O when t = 2, giving your answer correct to 2 decimal places.\)
Solution
(a) To find the velocity, integrate the acceleration:
