After t t\,t seconds, a particle P P\,P has velocity v\mathbf{v}v ms−1^{-1}−1 where v=kt12i−2tj\displaystyle \mathbf{v} = kt^{\frac{1}{2}}\mathbf{i} - 2t\mathbf{j}v=kt21i−2tj. When t=1t = 1t=1, P P\,P is at the point A A\,A and when t=4t = 4t=4, P P\,P is at the point BBB.
Find the exact distance AB AB\,AB in terms of kkk.
