SL 5.9—Kinematics question 1

[Maximum number: 14]

A particle P moves along the x-axis. The velocity of P is v m s1v \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} at time t seconds, where v(t)=4+4t3t2v(t)=4+4 t-3 t^{2} for 0t30 \leq t \leq 3. When t=0, P is at the origin O .

Question (a)

(a)

Find the value of t when P reaches its maximum velocity.

[ 2 ]

Question (b)

(b)

Show that the distance of P from O at this time is 8827\frac{88}{27} metres.

[ 7 ]

Question (c)

(c)

Find the total distance travelled by P.
