A particle P P\,P moves in a straight line such that at t t\,t seconds, t≥0t \geq 0t≥0, its velocity, v ms−1v \text{ ms}^{-1}v ms−1 is given by:
v=12−2t2 v = 12 - 2t^2 v=12−2t2the distance travelled by P P\,P in the first second,
the value of t t\,t when P P\,P changes direction of motion,
the value of t t\,t at the instant P P\,P returns to its starting point.
