A particle P\displaystyle P is moving along the x\displaystyle x-axis. At time t\displaystyle t seconds, t0\displaystyle t \geq 0, the velocity, vm/s\displaystyle v \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}, of P\displaystyle P is given by v=2t216t+30\displaystyle v = 2t^2 - 16t + 30
(a) Find the acceleration, in m/s2\displaystyle \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}^2, of P\displaystyle P when t=5\displaystyle t = 5
(2)
P\displaystyle P comes to instantaneous rest at the points M\displaystyle M and N\displaystyle N at times t1\displaystyle t_1 seconds and t2\displaystyle t_2 seconds where t2>t1\displaystyle t_2 > t_1
(b) Find the exact distance MN\displaystyle MN
