[In this question the unit vectors i\mathbf{i}i and j\mathbf{j}j are due east and due north respectively.]
At time t=0t = 0t=0, a particle P P\,P is at position (−4i+6j)m(-4\mathbf{i} + 6\mathbf{j})\text{m}(−4i+6j)m relative to a fixed origin, OOO.
The particle moves with velocity (2i−6j)ms−1(2\mathbf{i} - 6\mathbf{j})\text{ms}^{-1}(2i−6j)ms−1
Find the speed of PPP.
Show that P P\,P passes through the point A A\,A with position (3i−15j)m(3\mathbf{i} - 15\mathbf{j})\text{m}(3i−15j)m.
