1. A particle moves in a plane such that its velocity at t im e t seconds is given by
v(t) = (2t + l )i + (6 - 3t)j m/ s.
At time t = 0, the particle is at the ori gin.
(a) Find an expression fo r the position vector r (t ) of the pa rticle at time t.
(3)
(b) Find the distance of the particle from the orig in at t im e t = 2.
