Transcribed Image Text:The acceleration of a particle moving only on a horizontal xy plane is given by a = 2tî + 31ĵ, where a is in meters per second-
squared and t is in seconds. At t = 0, the position vector = (23.0m)i + (47.0m) locates the paticle, which then has the velocity
vector 7 = (6.40m/s)i + (3.20m/s) j. At t = 4.60 s, what are (a) its position vector in unit-vector notation and (b) the angle between
its direction of travel and the positive direction of the x axis?
