  1. \hspace{0pt} [In this question \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are horizontal unit vectors due east and due north respectively.]
A particle \(P\) moves with constant acceleration \(( - 2 \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { ms } ^ { - 2 }\). At time \(t\) seconds, the velocity of \(P\) is \(\mathbf { v m ~ s } ^ { - 1 }\). When \(t = 0 , \mathbf { v } = 10 \mathbf { i } + 4 \mathbf { j }\).
  1. Find the direction of motion of \(P\) when \(t = 6\), giving your answer as a bearing to the nearest degree.
  2. Find the value of \(t\) when \(P\) is moving north east.
