13 In this question \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are unit vectors in the \(x\) - and \(y\)-directions respectively.
The velocity of a particle at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) is given by \(\left( 3 t ^ { 2 } \mathbf { i } + 7 \mathbf { j } \right) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\). At time \(t = 0\) the position of the particle with respect to the origin is \(( - \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m }\).
  1. Determine the distance of the particle from the origin when \(t = 2\).
  2. Show that the cartesian equation of the path of the particle is \(x = \left( \frac { y - 2 } { 7 } \right) ^ { 3 } - 1\).
  3. At time \(t = 2\), the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the particle is 48 N . Find the mass of the particle.
