Kinematics and Integration
1. Use a calculator
A particle P, moves in a straight line with position relative to the origin O given by
s (t ) = 2t 3 - 9t 2 + 12t - 5 , where t is the time in seconds (t ≥0).
(a) Find expressions for the velocity and acceleration of the particle.
(e) What are the times and positions of the particle when it changes direction?
A particle travels in a straight line with velocity 𝑣(𝑡) = 6𝑡(1 − 𝑡) m/s. Find the distance travelled
in the first two seconds of motion.
4. You should use a calculator with this question, but you will have to integrate!
A particle moves along a horizontal line such that at time 𝑡 seconds, 𝑡 ≥ 0, its acceleration 𝑎 is
given by 𝑎 = 2𝑡 − 1. When 𝑡 = 6 , its displacement 𝑠 from a fixed origin O is 18.25 m. When 𝑡 = 15,
its displacement from O is 922.75 m. Find an expression for 𝑠 in terms of 𝑡.

(Hint: Set up an equation which you can then solve on your calculator)
12. Find the volume of the solid formed when the region bounded by the graph of
𝑦 = sin(𝑥 − 1), and the lines y = 0 and y = 1 is rotated by about the y-axis.
(Show working but use a calculator for calculating the definite integral)
13. Let f be a function defined by f(x) = x + 2 cos x, x Î [0, 2π]. The diagram below shows a
region S bound by the graph of f and the line y = x.
A and C are the points of intersection of the line y = x and the graph of f, and B is the
minimum point of f.
(i) Write down an integral that represents the volume V of this solid and
calculate it.
