A motorcyclist starts from rest at A and travels in a straight line until he comes to rest again at B. The velocity of the motorcyclist t seconds after leaving A is v m s-1, where v = t - 0.01t^2. Find

  1. the time taken for the motorcyclist to travel from A to B,
  2. the distance AB.

A particle P starts from rest at O and travels in a straight line. Its velocity v m s-1 at time t s is given by v = 8t - 2t^2 for 0 โ‰ค t โ‰ค 3, and v = \frac{54}{t^2} for t > 3. Find

  1. the distance travelled by P in the first 3 seconds,
  2. an expression in terms of t for the displacement of P from O, valid for t > 3,
  3. the value of v when the displacement of P from O is 27 m.

A particle P moves along the x-axis in the positive direction. The velocity of P at time t s is 0.03t2 m sโˆ’1. When t = 5 the displacement of P from the origin O is 2.5 m.

  1. Find an expression, in terms of t, for the displacement of P from O.
  2. Find the velocity of P when its displacement from O is 11.25 m.

A particle starts from rest at the point A and travels in a straight line until it reaches the point B. The velocity of the particle t seconds after leaving A is v m s-1, where v = 0.009t^2 - 0.0001t^3. Given that the velocity of the particle when it reaches B is zero, find

  1. the time taken for the particle to travel from A to B,
  2. the distance AB,
  3. the maximum velocity of the particle.

A particle P moves in a straight line that passes through the origin O. The velocity of P at time t seconds is v m s-1, where v = 20t - t^3. At time t = 0 the particle is at rest at a point whose displacement from O is -36 m.

  1. Find an expression for the displacement of P from O in terms of t.
  2. Find the displacement of P from O when t = 4.
  3. Find the values of t for which the particle is at O.
