Particle P travels in a straight line from A to B. The velocity of P at time t s after leaving A is denoted by v m s-1, where
\(v = 0.04t^3 + ct^2 + kt\).
P takes 5 s to travel from A to B and it reaches B with speed 10 m s-1. The distance AB is 25 m.
- Find the values of the constants c and k.
- Show that the acceleration of P is a minimum when t = 2.5.
