A particle X moves along a straight track, starting from a point O at time
. The displacement of X from O at time
is
, where
. Find the time at which X is instantaneously at rest, and hence find the total distance travelled by X between
and
. A second particle Y moves along another straight track, starting from a point P at time
. The acceleration of Y at time
is
, where
. The velocity of Y when it leaves P is
. When the velocity of Y is
, show that the displacement of X from O is equal to the displacement of Y from P.
