A particle P travels in a straight line from A to D, passing through the points B and C. For the section AB the velocity of the particle is \((0.5t - 0.01t^2)\) m s\(^{-1}\), where \(t\) is the time after leaving A.
- Given that the acceleration of P at B is 0.1 m s\(^{-2}\), find the time taken for P to travel from A to B.
- The acceleration of P from B to C is constant and equal to 0.1 m s\(^{-2}\). Given that P reaches C with speed 14 m s\(^{-1}\), find the time taken for P to travel from B to C.
- P travels with constant deceleration 0.3 m s\(^{-2}\) from C to D. Given that the distance CD is 300 m, find
- the speed with which P reaches D,
- the distance AD.
