Detailed Solution

This is the example of non-uniform acceleration  a=dvdt=0.5t
 16vdv=0t0.5tdtv=160.5t22
Direction of velocity changes at the moment when it becomes zero monentarily
 0=160.5t22t=8s        dxdt=v=160.5t2
Let us consider that at t = 0, particle is at x = 0
 0xdx=0t(160.5t22);x=16t0.5t6;
Distance travelled = |displacement| for t<_8s  . So, distance travelled in 4s
 x=16×40.5×436=59m
Distance travelled in 10s = |Displacement in 8s| x 2-
Displacement in  10s=85.33×276.55=94m      v(t=10s)=9ms1
