To solve this problem, we need to find the velocity and acceleration of the particle by differentiating the displacement function.
The displacement function is given by \(s = 2t^2 - \frac{80}{3}t^{3/2}\).
(i) First, find the velocity \(v\) by differentiating \(s\) with respect to \(t\):
\(v = \frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(2t^2 - \frac{80}{3}t^{3/2}) = 4t - 40t^{1/2}\).
Next, find the acceleration \(a\) by differentiating \(v\) with respect to \(t\):
\(a = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(4t - 40t^{1/2}) = 4 - 20t^{-1/2}\).
Set the acceleration to zero to find the time:
\(4 - 20t^{-1/2} = 0\)
\(4 = 20t^{-1/2}\)
\(t^{-1/2} = \frac{1}{5}\)
\(t^{1/2} = 5\)
\(t = 25\) s
(ii) Substitute \(t = 25\) into the displacement and velocity equations:
Displacement: \(s = 2(25)^2 - \frac{80}{3}(25)^{3/2}\)
\(s = 2(625) - \frac{80}{3}(125)\)
\(s = 1250 - \frac{10000}{3}\)
\(s = 1250 - 3333.33\)
\(s = -2083.3\) m
Velocity: \(v = 4(25) - 40(25)^{1/2}\)
\(v = 100 - 40(5)\)
\(v = 100 - 200\)
\(v = -100\) m/s
