Question
![NEED EXPLANATION
3 The position of a particle moving along a
straight horizontal groove is given by
x = 2 + t(t-3) for 0 ≤ t ≤5 where x is
measured in metres and t in seconds.
(i) What is the position of the particle at times
t = 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 5?
(ii) Draw a diagram to show the path of the
particle, marking its position at these times.
[iii] Find the displacement of the particle
relative to its initial position at these times.
(iv) Calculate the total distance travelled during
the motion.
