A particle P P\,P travels along a straight line such that at time t t\,t seconds, t≥0t \geq 0t≥0, after leaving the point O O\,O on the line, the velocity of PPP, v v\,v ms−1^{-1}−1, is modelled as

v=16+6t−t2 v = 16 + 6t - t^2 v=16+6t−t2
a.

the magnitude of the acceleration of P P\,P when P P\,P is at instantaneous rest,
