Exercise 8.1
The acceleration of a jet-ski is (\displaystyle 0.9\mathbf{i}+0.7\mathbf{j}) \displaystyle \text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-2}}. Its initial velocity is 4\displaystyle \mathbf{i} \displaystyle \text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-1}} and its initial position is (\displaystyle 400\mathbf{i}+350\mathbf{j}) m. The unit vectors are directed east and north respectively.
a) Find the velocity of the jet-ski when t = 10 seconds.
b) Find the position of the jet-ski when t = 10 seconds.
