TopicNewton's laws and connected particles

7 A particle, of mass 10 kg , moves on a smooth horizontal surface. A single horizontal force, \(( 9 \mathbf { i } + 12 \mathbf { j } )\) newtons, acts on the particle. The unit vectors \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are directed east and north respectively.
  1. Find the acceleration of the particle.
  2. At time \(t\) seconds, the velocity of the particle is \(\mathbf { v } \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\). When \(t = 0\), the velocity of the particle is \(( 2.2 \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) and the particle is at the origin.
    1. Find the distance between the particle and the origin when \(t = 5\).
    2. Express \(\mathbf { v }\) in terms of \(t\).
    3. Find \(t\) when the particle is travelling north-east.
