A particle P moves in a straight line. The velocity v m s-1 at time t s is given by
\(v = 4 + 0.2t\) for \(0 \leq t \leq 10\),
\(v = -2 + \frac{800}{t^2}\) for \(10 \leq t \leq 20\).
- Find the acceleration of P during the first 10 s.
- Find the acceleration of P when \(t = 20\).
- Sketch the velocity-time graph for \(0 \leq t \leq 20\).
- Find the total distance travelled by P in the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 20\).
