12 In this question the unit vectors \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are in the \(x\) - and \(y\)-directions respectively.
The velocity \(\mathbf { v } \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) of a particle is given by \(\mathbf { v } = 3 \mathbf { i } + \left( 6 t ^ { 2 } - 5 \right) \mathbf { j }\). The initial position of the particle is \(7 \mathbf { j } \mathrm {~m}\).
- Find an expression for the position vector of the particle at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\).
- Find the Cartesian equation of the path of the particle.
