A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}=3.00 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ and an initial velocity of $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}}_{i}=5.00 \hat{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. Find (a) the vector position of the particle at any time $\iota$ (b) the velocity of the particle at any time $t,(c)$ the coordinates of the particle at $t=2.00 \mathrm{s},$ and $(\mathrm{d})$ the speed of the particle at $t=2.00 \mathrm{s}$

Review. A snowmobile is originally at the point with position vector 29.0 $\mathrm{m}$ at $95.0^{\circ}$ counterclockwise from the $x$ axis, moving with velocity 4.50 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ at $40.0^{\circ} .$ It moves with constant acceleration 1.90 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ at $200^{\circ} .$ After 5.00 s have elapsed, find (a) its velocity and (b) its position vector.

In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is $h$. The mug slides off the counter and strikes the floor at distance d from the base of the counter. (a) With what velocity did the mug leave the counter? (b) What was the direction of the mug’s velocity just before it hit the floor?

To start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 300 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ at $55.0^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. It explodes on the mountainside 42.0 $\mathrm{s}$ after firing. What are the $x$ and $y$ coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to its firing point?

A rock is thrown upward from level ground in such a way that the maximum height of its flight is equal to its horizontal range $R$ (a) At what angle $\theta$ is the rock thrown? (b) In terms of its original range $R,$ what is the range $R_{\max }$ the rock can attain if it is launched at the same speed but at the optimal angle for maximum range? (c) What If? Would your answer to part (a) be different if the rock is thrown with the same speed on a different planet? Explain.
