Speed is given as time derivative of distance
\n" ); document.write( "i.e. \"speed=+d%28s%29%2Fd%28t%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"speed+=+d%28220t-15t%5E2-60In%28t%2B1%29%29%2Fd%28t%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "= \"220+-2%2A15t+-+60%2F%28t%2B1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "= \"220+-+30t+-+60%2F%28t%2B1%29\" Ans to part 1
\n" ); document.write( "For part2, when speed is 100ms^-1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"220+-+30t+-+60%2F%28t%2B1%29+=+100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"30t+%2B+60%2F%28t%2B1%29=+120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"30t%5E2+%2B+30t+%2B+60+=+120t+%2B+120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"30t%5E2+-+90t+-+60+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%5E2-3t-2+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+%283%2B-+sqrt%2817%29%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "t=3.56 seconds ignoring negative value of t.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
