A particle P starts from rest at a point O and moves in a straight line. P has acceleration 0.6t m sโˆ’2 at time t seconds after leaving O, until t = 10.

  1. Find the velocity and displacement from O of P when t = 10.

\(After t = 10, P has acceleration โˆ’0.4t m sโˆ’2 until it comes to rest at a point A.\)

  1. Find the distance OA.

An aeroplane moves along a straight horizontal runway before taking off. It starts from rest at O and has speed 90 m s-1 at the instant it takes off. While the aeroplane is on the runway at time t seconds after leaving O, its acceleration is (1.5 + 0.012t) m s-2. Find

  1. the value of t at the instant the aeroplane takes off,
  2. the distance travelled by the aeroplane on the runway.

A particle moves in a straight line. Its velocity t seconds after leaving a fixed point O on the line is v m s-1, where v = 0.2t + 0.006t2. For the instant when the acceleration of the particle is 2.5 times its initial acceleration,

  1. show that t = 25,
  2. find the displacement of the particle from O.

A particle P starts to move from a point O and travels in a straight line. The velocity of P is \(k(60t^2 - t^3)\) m s-1 at time t s after leaving O, where k is a constant. The maximum velocity of P is 6.4 m s-1.

  1. Show that \(k = 0.0002\).

P comes to instantaneous rest at a point A on the line. Find

  1. the distance OA,
  2. the magnitude of the acceleration of P at A,
  3. the speed of P when it subsequently passes through O.

A car travels along a straight road with constant acceleration \(a \text{ m s}^{-2}\). It passes through points \(A, B\) and \(C\); the time taken from \(A\) to \(B\) and from \(B\) to \(C\) is 5 s in each case. The speed of the car at \(A\) is \(u \text{ m s}^{-1}\) and the distances \(AB\) and \(BC\) are 55 m and 65 m respectively. Find the values of \(a\) and \(u\).
