A particle P moves in a straight line. The velocity v m s-1 at time t s is given by

\(v = 5t(t - 2)\) for \(0 \leq t \leq 4\),

\(v = k\) for \(4 \leq t \leq 14\),

\(v = 68 - 2t\) for \(14 \leq t \leq 20\),

where \(k\) is a constant.

  1. Find \(k\).
  2. Sketch the velocity-time graph for \(0 \leq t \leq 20\).
  3. Find the set of values of \(t\) for which the acceleration of P is positive.
  4. Find the total distance travelled by P in the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 20\).
