1.83 diagram
The velocity-time graph for a particle PP is shown by the two straight lines in the diagram.
(a)(i)
Find the deceleration of PP for 5t105 \leqslant t \leqslant 10.
[2]
(a)(ii)
Write down the value of tt when the speed of PP is zero.
[1]
(a)(iii)
Find the distance PP has travelled for 0t100 \leqslant t \leqslant 10.

(b)(i)
A particle QQ has a displacement of xx m from a fixed point OO, tt s after leaving OO. The velocity, vv m s1^{-1}, of QQ at time tt s is given by v=6e2t+1v = 6\mathrm{e}^{2t} + 1. Find an expression for xx in terms of tt.
[3]
(b)(ii)
Find the value of tt when the acceleration of QQ is 2424 m s2^{-2}.
