In this question, all lengths are in metres and time is in seconds. A particle \(P\) moves in a straight line such that its displacement \(s\) from a fixed point \(O\) at time \(t\) is given by \(s=(t-4)^{2}(t-1)\) for \(t \geqslant 0\). (a) On the axes, sketch the displacement-time graph of \(P\), stating the intercepts with the axes.
(b) Find an expression for the velocity, \(v\), of \(P\).
Give your answer in a factorised form.
(c) On the axes, sketch the velocity-time graph of \(P\), stating the intercepts with the axes.
(d) Find an expression for the acceleration, \(a\), of \(P\).
(e) On the axes, sketch the acceleration-time graph of \(P\), stating the intercepts with the axes.
