3. A particle \(P\) of mass 0.4 kg moves under the action of a single constant force \(\mathbf { F }\) newtons. The acceleration of \(P\) is \(( 6 \mathbf { i } + 8 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 2 }\). Find
  1. the angle between the acceleration and \(\mathbf { i }\),
  2. the magnitude of \(\mathbf { F }\). At time \(t\) seconds the velocity of \(P\) is \(\mathbf { v } \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\). Given that when \(t = 0 , \mathbf { v } = 9 \mathbf { i } - 10 \mathbf { j }\), (c) find the velocity of \(P\) when \(t = 5\).
