Question

A particle moves in the xy plane, starting from the origin at t = 0 with an initial velocity having an x component of 20 m/s and a y component of 215 m/s. The particle experiences an acceleration in the x direction, given by ax =
4.0 m/s2.
(A) Determine the total velocity vector at any later time.                                (B) Calculate the velocity and speed of the particle at t = 5.0 s and the angle the velocity vector makes with the x axis.                                                          (C) Determine the x and y coordinates of the particle at any time t and its position vector at this time.
