A particle P moves in a straight line, starting from point, O. The velocity V, measured in mst, at a time, tS after leaving O is given by V = 0.6t — 0.03t2. Find the values of t at which the Particle is travelling at half of its maximum velocity. (05 marks, Two people, A and B, roll an unbiased dic. The first to toss a6 wins sh.11,000.
