Answer

$r(t)= ti-tj+\dfrac{5}{2}t^2k$ and $|v(t)|=\sqrt{25t^2+2}$

Work Step by Step

As we are given that $m= 4 kg$ ;$F(t)=20 N$ Use Newton's Second law of motion. $F(t)=ma(t)$ This yields $a(t)=\frac{F(t)}{m}$ $=\frac{20}{4}$ $=5 ms^{-2}$ As we are given that $v(t)=\int a(t) dt$ directed towards positive $+z$-axis. Thus, $v(t)=5t k+A$ From the given question: $v(0)=i-j \implies A=i-j$ $v(t)=5t k+i-j$ This implies $|v(t)|=\sqrt{25t^2+2}$ Also, $r(t)=\int v(t) \implies ti-tj+5(\dfrac{t^2}{2})k$
