2 A particle of mass 5 kg has constant acceleration. Initially, the particle is at \(\binom { - 1 } { 2 } \mathrm {~m}\) with velocity \(\binom { 2 } { - 3 } \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\); after 4 seconds the particle has velocity \(\binom { 12 } { 9 } \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Calculate the acceleration of the particle.
  2. Calculate the position of the particle at the end of the 4 seconds.
  3. Calculate the force acting on the particle.
