The problem you're working with shows the velocity function of a particle moving along the vertical \( y \)-axis and the corresponding vertical displacement over time.

The velocity function is:
\[
v(t) = -t^2 + 3t + 10
\]
This velocity is defined for \( t \in [0, 8.172] \) seconds.

The vertical displacement \( y(t) \), obtained by integrating the velocity function, is also provided:
\[
y(t) = -\frac{t^3}{3} + \frac{3t^2}{2} + 10t
\]

Key points from the problem:
1. The maximum vertical displacement occurs at \( t = 5 \) seconds.
2. At \( t = 5 \), you are asked to find the total distance the particle has traveled up to that point.
3. The total distance the particle has traveled when it returns to the starting point is given as 91.69 meters.

Let's compute the displacement at \( t = 5 \) seconds by plugging it into the displacement equation:
\[
y(5) = -\frac{5^3}{3} + \frac{3 \cdot 5^2}{2} + 10 \cdot 5
\]

Would you like me to calculate the exact displacement at \( t = 5 \), and then explain further details of the problem? 

Here are 5 questions you could explore next:
1. How do you compute the displacement of the particle from velocity?
2. What is the significance of the total distance traveled when the particle returns to its starting point?
3. How is the velocity function related to the acceleration of the particle?
4. What does the negative value of \( v(t) \) indicate about the motion of the particle?
5. How can you find the time when the particle returns to its original position?

**Tip**: The area under the velocity-time graph between two points gives the displacement between those times.

A particle moves along the vertical y-axis with velocity function v(t) = -t^2 + 3t + 10 m/s. Initially, y(0) = 0, and the maximum vertical displacement occurs at t = 5 seconds. What is the distance traveled by the particle by this point and the total distance traveled when it returns to its original position?

Explore particle motion along the vertical y-axis using velocity function v(t) = -t^2 + 3t + 10. Learn how to find the maximum displacement, calculate the distance traveled, and analyze total displacement using calculus techniques. Suitable for advanced high school physics and calculus students.
