Practise IB Mathematics SL/HL 5.9 by applying kinematics methods to exam-style questions.
A particle P moves along the x-axis. The velocity of P is v m s−1 at time t seconds, where v(t)=4+4t−3t2 for 0≤t≤3. When t=0, P is at the origin O .
Find the value of t when P reaches its maximum velocity.
valid approach to find turning point (v′=0,−2ab, average of roots)
4-6 t=0 OR −2(−3)4 OR 2−32+2t=32( s)
Show that the distance of P from O at this time is 2788 metres.
attempt to integrate v
∫v dt=∫(4+4t−3t2)dt=4t+2t2−t3(+c)
Note: Award A1 for 4t+2t2,A1 for −t3.
attempt to substitute their t into their solution for the integral
distance =4(32)+2(32)2−(32)3=38+98−278 (or equivalent)
=2788( m)
Find the total distance travelled by P.
recognising to integrate between 0 and 2, or 2 and 3 OR ∫034+4t−3t2dt∫02(4+4t−3t2)dt

valid approach to sum the two areas (seen anywhere)
∫02v dt−∫23v dt OR ∫02v dt+∫23v dt
total distance travelled =13( m)
