A) (35i^−57j^) m\text{A) } (35\hat{i} - 57\hat{j})\, \text{m}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Identify the position vector function.

    The position of the particle as a function of time is given by:

    r⃗(t)=[(5.0)t+(6.0)t2]i^+[(7.0)−(3.0)t3]j^\vec{r}(t) = [(5.0)t + (6.0)t^2]\hat{i} + [(7.0) - (3.0)t^3]\hat{j}
  2. Calculate the position vector at t1=2.0t_1 = 2.0 s.

    Substitute t=2.0t = 2.0 s into the position function:

    r⃗(2.0)=[(5.0)(2.0)+(6.0)(2.0)2]i^+[(7.0)−(3.0)(2.0)3]j^\vec{r}(2.0) = [(5.0)(2.0) + (6.0)(2.0)^2]\hat{i} + [(7.0) - (3.0)(2.0)^3]\hat{j} r⃗(2.0)=[10.0+(6.0)(4.0)]i^+[7.0−(3.0)(8.0)]j^\vec{r}(2.0) = [10.0 + (6.0)(4.0)]\hat{i} + [7.0 - (3.0)(8.0)]\hat{j} r⃗(2.0)=[10.0+24.0]i^+[7.0−24.0]j^\vec{r}(2.0) = [10.0 + 24.0]\hat{i} + [7.0 - 24.0]\hat{j} r⃗(2.0)=(34.0i^−17.0j^) m\vec{r}(2.0) = (34.0\hat{i} - 17.0\hat{j})\, \text{m}
  3. Calculate the position vector at t2=3.0t_2 = 3.0 s.

    Substitute t=3.0t = 3.0 s into the position function:

    r⃗(3.0)=[(5.0)(3.0)+(6.0)(3.0)2]i^+[(7.0)−(3.0)(3.0)3]j^\vec{r}(3.0) = [(5.0)(3.0) + (6.0)(3.0)^2]\hat{i} + [(7.0) - (3.0)(3.0)^3]\hat{j} r⃗(3.0)=[15.0+(6.0)(9.0)]i^+[7.0−(3.0)(27.0)]j^\vec{r}(3.0) = [15.0 + (6.0)(9.0)]\hat{i} + [7.0 - (3.0)(27.0)]\hat{j} r⃗(3.0)=[15.0+54.0]i^+[7.0−81.0]j^\vec{r}(3.0) = [15.0 + 54.0]\hat{i} + [7.0 - 81.0]\hat{j} r⃗(3.0)=(69.0i^−74.0j^) m\vec{r}(3.0) = (69.0\hat{i} - 74.0\hat{j})\, \text{m}
  4. Calculate the displacement vector.

    Displacement Δr⃗\Delta \vec{r} is the change in position, given by Δr⃗=r⃗(t2)−r⃗(t1)\Delta \vec{r} = \vec{r}(t_2) - \vec{r}(t_1).

    Δr⃗=r⃗(3.0)−r⃗(2.0)\Delta \vec{r} = \vec{r}(3.0) - \vec{r}(2.0) Δr⃗=(69.0i^−74.0j^)−(34.0i^−17.0j^)\Delta \vec{r} = (69.0\hat{i} - 74.0\hat{j}) - (34.0\hat{i} - 17.0\hat{j}) Δr⃗=(69.0−34.0)i^+(−74.0−(−17.0))j^\Delta \vec{r} = (69.0 - 34.0)\hat{i} + (-74.0 - (-17.0))\hat{j} Δr⃗=(35.0)i^+(−74.0+17.0)j^\Delta \vec{r} = (35.0)\hat{i} + (-74.0 + 17.0)\hat{j} Δr⃗=(35.0i^−57.0j^) m\Delta \vec{r} = (35.0\hat{i} - 57.0\hat{j})\, \text{m}
  5. Compare the result with the given options.

    The calculated displacement is (35i^−57j^)(35\hat{i} - 57\hat{j}) m, which matches option (A).

    The final answer is A) (35i^−57j^) m\text{A) } (35\hat{i} - 57\hat{j})\, \text{m}.
