Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

Kinematics helps to find out the velocity, acceleration of the particle at any time t when position of the particle is given. The relation between displacement, velocity and acceleration helps to find the unknown quantity.

Given data:

The position of the particle in the space at time t is,

rt=3t+9i^+8t2-2j^+4tk^

Where,

t- time

i, j, k unit vectors in the direction of x, y, z axis

Formula used:

The relation between displacement is the, 'velocity is the time derivative of displacement'

v=drtdt

Similarly relation between displacement and acceleration is,

a=d2rtdt2=dvtdt

Step 2

Calculation:

Velocity of the particle is,

v=drtdtv=ddt3t+9i^+8t2-2j^+4tk^v=3i^+16tj^+4k^Velocity at time t= 0 sec is,v=3i^+0j^+4k^v=3i^+4k^

Acceleration of the particle is,

a=d2rtdt2=dvtdta=ddt3i^+16tj^+4k^a=0i^+16j^+0k^a=16j^At time t=0 sec, acceleration of the particle is,a=16j^
