A particle moves in a straight line through the point O. The displacement of the particle from O at time t s is s m, where

\(s = t^2 - 3t + 2\) for \(0 \leq t \leq 6\),

\(s = \frac{24}{t} - \frac{t^2}{4} + 25\) for \(t \geq 6\).

  1. Find the value of t when the particle is instantaneously at rest during the first 6 seconds of its motion. [2]
  2. At t = 6, the particle hits a barrier at a point P and rebounds. Find the velocity with which the particle arrives at P and also the velocity with which the particle leaves P. [3]
  3. Find the total distance travelled by the particle in the first 10 seconds of its motion. [5]
