Question 3

A particle P P\,P of mass 2 kg is moving under the action of a constant force F\mathbf{F}F newtons. When t=0t = 0t=0, P P\,P has velocity (3i+2j) m s−1(3\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j}) \text{ m s}^{-1}(3i+2j) m s−1 and at time t=4 st = 4 \text{ s}t=4 s, P P\,P has velocity (15i−4j) m s−1(15\mathbf{i} - 4\mathbf{j}) \text{ m s}^{-1}(15i−4j) m s−1.

a.

Find the acceleration of P P\,P in terms of i\mathbf{i}i and j\mathbf{j}j.
