Question: A particle moves in the xy plane with constant acceleration. At t = 0 the particle is at r 1 = 4 m i +

A particle moves in the xy plane with constant acceleration. At t = 0 the particle is at r1 = 4 m i + 3 m j, with velocity v1. At t = 2 s the particle has moved to r2 = 10 m i - 2 m j, and its velocity has changed to v2 = (5 i - 6 j) m/s. 

(a) Find v1

(b) What is the acceleration of the particle? 

(c) What is the velocity of the particle as a function of time? 

(d) What is the position vector of the particle as a function of time?
