Question
A particle P starts from a point A and moves along a horizontal straight line. Its velocity \(v{\text{ cm}}\,{{\text{s}}^{ - 1}}\) after \(t\) seconds is given by
\[v(t) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} { - 2t + 2,}&{{\text{for }}0 \leqslant t \leqslant 1} \\ {3\sqrt t + \frac{4}{{{t^2}}} - 7,}&{{\text{for }}1 \leqslant t \leqslant 12} \end{array}} \right.\]
The following diagram shows the graph of \(v\).
P is at rest when \(t = 1\) and \(t = p\).
When \(t = q\), the acceleration of P is zero.
Find the initial velocity of \(P\).
Find the value of \(p\).
(i) Find the value of \(q\).
(ii) Hence, find the speed of P when \(t = q\).
(i) Find the total distance travelled by P between \(t = 1\) and \(t = p\).
(ii) Hence or otherwise, find the displacement of P from A when \(t = p\).
