TopicNon-constant acceleration

  1. \hspace{0pt} [In this question position vectors are given relative to a fixed origin \(O\) ]
At time \(t\) seconds, where \(t \geqslant 0\), a particle, \(P\), moves so that its velocity \(\mathbf { v ~ m ~ s } ^ { - 1 }\) is given by $$\mathbf { v } = 6 t \mathbf { i } - 5 t ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } \mathbf { j }$$ When \(t = 0\), the position vector of \(P\) is \(( - 20 \mathbf { i } + 20 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m }\).
  1. Find the acceleration of \(P\) when \(t = 4\)
  2. Find the position vector of \(P\) when \(t = 4\)
