7 A particle moves on a smooth horizontal plane. It is initially at the point \(A\), with position vector \(( 9 \mathbf { i } + 7 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m }\), and has velocity \(( - 2 \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\). The particle moves with a constant acceleration of \(( 0.25 \mathbf { i } + 0.3 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 2 }\) for 20 seconds until it reaches the point \(B\). The unit vectors \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are directed east and north respectively.
  1. Find the velocity of the particle at the point \(B\).
  2. Find the velocity of the particle when it is travelling due north.
  3. Find the position vector of the point \(B\).
  4. Find the average velocity of the particle as it moves from \(A\) to \(B\).
