A particle P moves along a straight line. Its displacement, \(s\) metres, from a fixed origin O at time \(t\) seconds is given by the function:$$ s(t) = 2t^3 - 15t^2 + 24t + 10, \quad \text{for } t \ge 0 $$
  1. Find an expression for the velocity, \(v(t)\), of the particle.
    \(v(t) =\)
  2. Find the times at which the particle is instantaneously at rest.
    \(t =\)
    s and \(t =\)
    s
  3. Find the total distance travelled by the particle in the first 5 seconds of its motion.
    Total distance =
    m
