A particle P starts from rest at the point A at time t = 0, where t is in seconds, and moves in a straight line with constant acceleration a m s-2 for 10 s. For 10 ≤ t ≤ 20, P continues to move along the line with velocity v m s-1, where v = \(\frac{800}{t^2} - 2\). Find

  1. the speed of P when t = 10, and the value of a,
  2. the value of t for which the acceleration of P is -a m s-2,
  3. the displacement of P from A when t = 20.
