4 The directions of the unit vectors \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are east and north.
The velocity of a particle, \(\mathrm { vm } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\), at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) is given by
$$\mathbf { v } = \left( 16 - t ^ { 2 } \right) \mathbf { i } + ( 31 - 8 t ) \mathbf { j } .$$
Find the time at which the particle is travelling on a bearing of \(045 ^ { \circ }\) and the speed of the particle at this time.
