6 An object of mass 5 kg has a constant acceleration of \(\binom { - 1 } { 2 } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\) for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 4\), where \(t\) is the time in seconds.
  1. Calculate the force acting on the object. When \(t = 0\), the object has position vector \(\binom { - 2 } { 3 } \mathrm {~m}\) and velocity \(\binom { 4 } { 5 } \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  2. Find the position vector of the object when \(t = 4\).
