The velocity of a particle is v = 53i + (6 - 2t)j6 m>s, where t

is in seconds. If r = 0 when t = 0, determine the
displacement of the particle during the time interval
t = 1 s to t = 3 s.

SOLUTION
Position: The position r of the particle can be determined by integrating the
kinematic equation dr = vdt using the initial condition r = 0 at t = 0 as the
integration limit. Thus,
dr = vdt
