The position  r→ of a particle moving in an xy plane is given by  r→=(3.00t^3−7.00t)i^+(6.00−2.00t^4)j^ with r→ in meters and t in seconds. In unit-vector notation, calculate (a)r→, (b)v→, and (c)a→ for t = 2.00 s. (d) What is the angle between the positive direction of the x axis and a line tangent to the particle's path at t = 2.00 s? Give your answer in the range of (-180o; 180o).
