Answer

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

Work Step by Step

Given: $m= 4 kg$ and $F(t)=20 N$ In order to calculate the speed of a particle, whose mass is $m$ we will take the help of Newton's Second law of motion: Force vector: $F(t)=ma(t) \implies a(t)=\frac{F(t)}{m}=\frac{20}{4}=5$ ms^{-2} Since, $v(t)=\int a(t) dt$ which has direction towards $+z$-axis. Thus, $v(t)=5t k+A$ Here, A shows a constant of integration. From question, we have $v(0)=i-j \implies A=i-j$ $v(t)=5t k+i-j$ and $|v(t)|=\sqrt{25t^2+2}$ Since, $r(t)=\int v(t) \implies ti-tj+5(\dfrac{t^2}{2})k$ Hence, the required answer is : $r(t)= ti-tj+\dfrac{5}{2}t^2k$ and $|v(t)|=\sqrt{25t^2+2}$
