(a) The diagram shows the velocity-time graph for a particle P, travelling in a straight line with velocity vms⁻¹ at a time t seconds. P accelerates at a constant rate for the first 10s of its motion, and then travels at constant velocity, 30ms⁻¹, for another 15s. P then accelerates at a constant rate for a further 10s and reaches a velocity of 60ms⁻¹. P then decelerates at a constant rate and comes to rest when t = 55. [Figure 11.1] (b) A particle Q travels in a straight line such that its velocity, `vms⁻¹`, at time `ts` after passing through a fixed point O is given by `v = 4 cos3t-4`.
