Question
Particle A moves such that its velocity \(v{\text{ m}}{{\text{s}}^{ - 1}}\), at time t seconds, is given by \(v(t) = \frac{t}{{12 + {t^4}}},{\text{ }}t \geqslant 0\).
Particle B moves such that its velocity \(v{\text{ m}}{{\text{s}}^{ - 1}}\) is related to its displacement \(s{\text{ m}}\), by the equation \(v(s) = \arcsin \left( {\sqrt s } \right)\).
Sketch the graph of \(y = v(t)\). Indicate clearly the local maximum and write down its coordinates.
Use the substitution \(u = {t^2}\) to find \(\int {\frac{t}{{12 + {t^4}}}{\text{d}}t} \).
Find the exact distance travelled by particle \(A\) between \(t = 0\) and \(t = 6\) seconds.
Give your answer in the form \(k\arctan (b),{\text{ }}k,{\text{ }}b \in \mathbb{R}\).
Find the acceleration of particle B when \(s = 0.1{\text{ m}}\).
