3.40: Kinematics with sine velocity

0606/11/M/J/24 — Question 10 · 9 marks

In this question, all distances are in metres and time, tt, is in seconds.
A particle PP is at a fixed point OO at time t=0t=0. The velocity, vv, of PP is given by v=3sin2tv=3\,\mathrm{sin}\,2t for t0t\geqslant 0.
(a)
Find the exact value of tt for which the velocity is zero for the first time after PP leaves OO.
[2]
(b)
Find an expression, in terms of tt, for the displacement of PP from OO at time tt.
[4]
(c)
Find the distance travelled by PP for 0tπ0\leqslant t\leqslant \pi.
