8 In this question \(\binom { 1 } { 0 }\) and \(\binom { 0 } { 1 }\) denote unit vectors which are horizontal and vertically upwards respectively.
A particle of mass 5 kg , initially at rest at the point with position vector \(\binom { 2 } { 45 } \mathrm {~m}\), is acted on by gravity and also by two forces \(\binom { 15 } { - 8 } \mathrm {~N}\) and \(\binom { - 7 } { - 2 } \mathrm {~N}\).
  1. Find the acceleration vector of the particle.
  2. Find the position vector of the particle after 10 seconds.
