Question

The velocity $v{\text{ m}}{{\text{s}}^{ - 1}}$ of a particle after $t$ seconds is given by

$v(t) = {(0.3t + 0.1)^t} - 4$ , for $0 \le t \le 5$

The following diagram shows the graph of $v$ .

Find the value of $t$ when the particle is at rest.

recognizing particle at rest when $v = 0$ (M1)

eg $\;\;\;{(0.3t + 0.1)^t} - 4 = 0$ , $x$ -intercept on graph of $v$

$t = 4.27631$

$t = 4.28{\text{ }} {\text{ (seconds)}}$ A2 N3
