A particle P moves along the x-axis in the positive direction. The velocity of P at time t s is 0.03t2 m sโ1. When t = 5 the displacement of P from the origin O is 2.5 m.
Find an expression, in terms of t, for the displacement of P from O.
Find the velocity of P when its displacement from O is 11.25 m.
Solution
(i) The velocity of the particle is given by \(v = 0.03t^2\). To find the displacement \(x(t)\), we integrate the velocity function:
