0606/22/F/M/23 — Question 10 · 10 marks

A particle PP moves in a straight line such that, tt seconds after passing a fixed point OO, its acceleration ams2a\,\mathrm{ms}^{-2} is
a=6t(0t3),a=18e3t(t3).a = 6t\quad(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 3),\qquad a = 18\mathrm{e}^{3 - t}\quad(t \geqslant 3).
When t=1t = 1, the velocity of PP is 2ms12\,\mathrm{ms}^{-1} and its displacement from OO is 4m-4\,\mathrm{m}.
(a)(i)
Find the velocity of PP when t=3t = 3.
[3]
(a)(ii)
Find the displacement of PP from OO when t=3t = 3.
[3]
(b)
Find an expression in terms of tt for the displacement of PP from OO when t3t \geqslant 3.
