A particle PP moves on the xx-axis from the origin OO with an initial velocity of −20-20 m s−1\text{m s}^{-1}. The acceleration aa m s−2\text{m s}^{-2} at time tt s after leaving OO is given by a=12−2ta = 12 - 2t.
5(a) [5]
Sketch a velocity-time graph for 0⩽t⩽120 \leqslant t \leqslant 12, indicating the times when PP is at rest.
5(b) [5]
Find the total distance travelled by PP in the interval 0⩽t⩽120 \leqslant t \leqslant 12.
