I know you need to use suvat.
s=? u=0 v=? a=? t=?
I am confused because of this ^ . I just need those values please help. Just suvat values.

s = ?
u = 0
v = t(1-t^2)
a = ?
t = t

suvat only applies where you have constant acceleration, implying velocity is a linear function of time; this is not the case here.

You have v as a function of t and just need to find its maximum value. This is no different to having y as a function of x, and needing to find the max value of y; which I would presume you're covered.

Is this chapter 11 on the maths edexcel stats and mechanics textbook. (Variable functions of time ) is the title of it. If it is I have not learned that topic. Please can you show the working out the.

I've don't have the book, so no idea if it's that chapter. But if you've not yet covered the material, then it's not a good idea to attempt the question.

Also fully worked solutions are against the forum rules - see sticky thread at top of forum.
