A car is travelling with varying speed, and at the moment t = 0 the speed is [30 marks] 100 km/h. The car gradually slows down according to the formula - L(t) = at — bt2, t≥ 0, where L(t) is the distance travelled along the road and b = 90 km/h2. The value of a is not given, but you can find it. Using derivative, find the time moment when the car speed becomes 10 km/h. Find the acceleration of the car at that moment.

Question
A car is travelling with varying speed, and at
the moment t = 0 the speed is [30 marks]
100 km/h. The car gradually slows down
according to the formula
L(t) = at — bt2, t≥ 0,
where L(t) is the distance travelled along
the road and b = 90 km/h2. The
value of a is not given, but you can find it.
Using derivative, find the time
moment when the car speed becomes 10
km/h. Find the acceleration of the
car at that moment.
