A particle P starts from rest at the point A and travels in a straight line, coming to rest again after 10 s. The velocity-time graph for P consists of two straight line segments (see diagram). A particle Q starts from rest at A at the same instant as P and travels along the same straight line as P. The velocity of Q is given by \(v = 3t - 0.3t^2\) for \(0 \leq t \leq 10\). The displacements from A of P and Q are the same when \(t = 10\).

  1. Show that the greatest velocity of P during its motion is 10 m s-1.
  2. Find the value of \(t\), in the interval \(0 < t < 5\), for which the acceleration of Q is the same as the acceleration of P.
