Question

The particle P moves along the x-axis such that its velocity, v ms1v ms1 , at time t seconds is given by v=cos(t2).

Given that P is at the origin O at time t = 0 , calculate

(i)     the displacement of P from O after 3 seconds;

(ii)     the total distance travelled by P in the first 3 seconds.
