1 A particle moves under the action of a force, \(\mathbf { F }\) newtons. At time \(t\) seconds, the velocity, \(\mathbf { v } \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\), of the particle is given by $$\mathbf { v } = \left( t ^ { 3 } - 15 t - 5 \right) \mathbf { i } + \left( 6 t - t ^ { 2 } \right) \mathbf { j }$$
  1. Find an expression for the acceleration of the particle at time \(t\).
  2. The mass of the particle is 4 kg .
    1. Show that, at time \(t\), $$\mathbf { F } = \left( 12 t ^ { 2 } - 60 \right) \mathbf { i } + ( 24 - 8 t ) \mathbf { j }$$
    2. Find the magnitude of \(\mathbf { F }\) when \(t = 2\).
