On this page, we will explore the motion of two particles in the x-y plane. The detailed analysis below will guide you through calculating various important physical quantities for the system.

**Problem Statement:**

Two particles are moving in the x-y plane. 

- Particle #1 has a mass \( m_1 = 6.40 \, \text{kg} \) and is located (at any given time) by the position vector \( \vec{r}_1(t) =  [0.300 \, \text{m} + (2.00 \, \text{m/s}^3)t^3]\hat{i} + 0.200 \, \text{m}\hat{j} \).
- Particle #2 has a mass \( m_2 = 9.00 \, \text{kg} \) and is located (similarly, at any given time) by the position vector \( \vec{r}_2(t) = 0.100 \, \text{m}\hat{i} + [0.300 \, \text{m} + (0.500 \, \text{m/s})t + (1.50 \, \text{m/s}^2)t^2]\hat{j} \).

Determine the following at the time \(t = 1.00 \, s\). (Express your answers in vector form.)

### Part (a) Location of the center of mass
\[ \vec{r}_{cm}(t = 1.00 \, s) = \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \, \text{m} \]

### Part (b) Velocity of the center of mass
\[ \vec{V}_{cm}(t = 1.00 \, s) = \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \, \text{m/s} \]

### Part (c) Acceleration of the center of mass
\[ \vec{a}_{cm}(t = 1.00 \, s) = \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \, \text{m/s}^2 \]

### Part (d) Momentum of the center of mass
\[ \vec{P}_{cm}(t = 1.00 \, s) = \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s
