Kinematics - Finding the Equation of Displacement from Velocity

Kinematics - Finding the Equation of Displacement from Velocity

A particle \(P\) moves in a straight line such that \(t\) seconds after starting at displacement \(-3\) metres from \(O\), its velocity, \(v\) m/s, is given by \(v = 3t^2 + 13t - 10\). Find

  1. \(t\) when the particle changes direction.
  2. an expression for the displacement of the particle from \(O\).
