You could think of it that way, but you should know that whenever speed = 0 on particle questions that means the particle just turned around, and so while the distance from O would start decreasing the distance TRAVELLED would be increasing.oh ..at t=5, speed is 0m/s....so after dat we put values of t and found dat distance is decreasing...that is it is returning to the starting point?...is it not the way to think...correct me if i m wrong..
If you just found the distance at t=10s straight away you'd get 25m/s, which is wrong because it's not counting the distance between t=0 and t=5 and back
