A particle starts from rest and moves in a straight line. The velocity of the particle at time t s after the start is v m s-1, where
\(v = -0.01t^3 + 0.22t^2 - 0.4t\).
- Find the two positive values of t for which the particle is instantaneously at rest.
- Find the time at which the acceleration of the particle is greatest.
- Find the distance travelled by the particle while its velocity is positive.
