Formative Exercise 8.2 Question 1
[size=100][b]The diagram above shows a displacement function, s=f(t),velocity function, v=f(t) and acceleration function, a=f(t) for a particle which moves along a straight line and passes through a fixed point O for [math]0\le t\le4[/math][/b][/size].[b] Based on the graph, determine[/b]
[b]a)[/b][size=100][b] the initial velocity of the particle,ms[sup]-1[/sup],[/b][sup][b] [/b][/sup][/size]
[b]b) [/b][size=100][b]the time, in seconds, when the particle passes through the fixed point O,[/b][/size]
[size=100][b]c) the minimum distance, in m, of the particle,[/b][/size]
[size=100][b]d) the total distance travelled, in m, by the particle in the given time period,[/b][/size]
[size=100][b]e) the range of time,in seconds,when a particle moves to right.[/b][/size]
