A particle starts from a point O and moves in a straight line. The velocity of the particle at time t s after leaving O is v m s-1, where
\(v = 1.5 + 0.4t \quad \text{for} \quad 0 \leq t \leq 5,\)
\(v = \frac{100}{t^2} - 0.1t \quad \text{for} \quad t \geq 5.\)
- Find the acceleration of the particle during the first 5 seconds of motion.
- Find the value of t when the particle is instantaneously at rest.
- Find the total distance travelled by the particle in the first 10 seconds of motion.
