A particle travels along a straight line. It starts from rest at a point A on the line and comes to rest again, 10 seconds later, at another point B on the line. The velocity t seconds after leaving A is
\(0.72t^2 - 0.096t^3\) for \(0 \leq t \leq 5\),
\(2.4t - 0.24t^2\) for \(5 \leq t \leq 10\).
A particle P travels in a straight line. It passes through the point O of the line with velocity 5 m s-1 at time t = 0, where t is in seconds. P's velocity after leaving O is given by
(0.002t3 - 0.12t2 + 1.8t + 5) m s-1.
The velocity of P is increasing when 0 < t < T1 and when t > T2, and the velocity of P is decreasing when T1 < t < T2.
A particle starts at a point O and moves along a straight line. Its velocity t s after leaving O is \((1.2t - 0.12t^2)\) m s-1. Find the displacement of the particle from O when its acceleration is 0.6 m s-2.
A vehicle is moving in a straight line. The velocity \(v\) m s-1 at time \(t\) s after the vehicle starts is given by
\(v = A(t - 0.05t^2) \quad \text{for} \; 0 \leq t \leq 15,\)
\(v = \frac{B}{t^2} \quad \text{for} \; t \geq 15,\)
where \(A\) and \(B\) are constants. The distance travelled by the vehicle between \(t = 0\) and \(t = 15\) is 225 m.
A motorcyclist starts from rest at A and travels in a straight line. For the first part of the motion, the motorcyclist’s displacement x metres from A after t seconds is given by x = 0.6t2 - 0.004t3.
