TopicNon-constant acceleration

2. A particle \(P\) of mass 1.5 kg is moving under the action of a constant force ( \(3 \mathbf { i } - 7.5 \mathbf { j }\) ) N. Initially \(P\) has velocity \(( 2 \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\). Find
  1. the magnitude of the acceleration of \(P\),
  2. the velocity of \(P\), in terms of \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\), when \(P\) has been moving for 4 seconds.
