A particle is moving in the with acceleration (2t - 3) ms^-2 and initial velocity 2ms^-1. Find the distance travelled when the velocity has reached 12ms^-1.

(1.) Integrate the expression for acceleration to find an expression for velocity: Velocity v = t^2 - 3t + c        When t = 0, velocity = 2. Substituting in to find constant c, 2 = 0 + 0  + c therefore c...
