Answer
Step-by-step solution
4 stepsDetermine the time when the particle stops.
The particle stops when its velocity is equal to zero.
Given the velocity function :Factor out :
This gives two possible times:
Solving for the second time:
The particle starts at and stops at .
Find the displacement function .
The displacement is the integral of the velocity function with respect to time .
Assuming the particle starts at position at , we have , which means .
So, the displacement function is:Calculate the displacement at the time the particle stops.
The particle stops at . Substitute this value into the displacement function:
Simplify the first fraction: .
To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 32:
Determine the maximum distance travelled.
The velocity function is negative for (e.g., at , ). This means the particle moves in one direction (the negative direction) from until it stops at .
Therefore, the total distance travelled is the absolute value of the displacement.The maximum distance travelled by the particle before stopping is .
