A particle P travels in a straight line. It passes through the point O of the line with velocity 5 m s-1 at time t = 0, where t is in seconds. P's velocity after leaving O is given by
(0.002t3 - 0.12t2 + 1.8t + 5) m s-1.
The velocity of P is increasing when 0 < t < T1 and when t > T2, and the velocity of P is decreasing when T1 < t < T2.
- Find the values of T1 and T2 and the distance OP when t = T2.
- Find the velocity of P when t = T2 and sketch the velocity-time graph for the motion of P.
