A particle moving in a straight line starts from rest at a point A and comes instantaneously to rest at a point B. The acceleration of the particle at time t s after leaving A is a m s-2, where
\(a = 6t^{\frac{1}{2}} - 2t\).
A particle moves in a straight line. It starts from rest from a fixed point O on the line. Its velocity at time t s after leaving O is v m sโ1, where v = t2 โ 8t3/2 + 10t.
\((a) Find the displacement of the particle from O when t = 1.\)
(b) Show that the minimum velocity of the particle is โ125 m sโ1.
A particle P moves in a straight line. It starts at a point O on the line and at time t s after leaving O it has velocity v m s-1, where v = 4t^2 - 20t + 21.
(a) Find the values of t for which P is at instantaneous rest.
(b) Find the initial acceleration of P.
(c) Find the minimum velocity of P.
(d) Find the distance travelled by P during the time when its velocity is negative.
A particle P moves in a straight line, starting from a point O with velocity 1.72 m s-1. The acceleration a m s-2 of the particle, t s after leaving O, is given by a = 0.1t3/2.
(a) Find the value of t when the velocity of P is 3 m s-1.
\((b) Find the displacement of P from O when t = 2, giving your answer correct to 2 decimal places.\)
A particle P moves in a straight line. It starts from rest at a point O on the line and at time t s after leaving O it has acceleration a m s-2, where a = 6t - 18.
Find the distance P moves before it comes to instantaneous rest.
