Particles P and Q leave a fixed point A at the same time and travel in the same straight line. The velocity of P after t seconds is \(6t(t-3)\) m s-1 and the velocity of Q after t seconds is \((10 - 2t)\) m s-1.
- Sketch, on the same axes, velocity-time graphs for P and Q for \(0 \leq t \leq 5\).
- Verify that P and Q meet after 5 seconds.
- Find the greatest distance between P and Q for \(0 \leq t \leq 5\).
