Step 1: Determine the acceleration of P at time tt.
The force acting on particle P is given by F=[(3t2−4t)i+(6t−5)j]F = [(3t^2 - 4t)i + (6t - 5)j] N.
The particle has unit mass, so m=1m = 1 kg.
According to Newton's second law, F=maF = ma. Since m=1m=1, the acceleration aa is equal to the force FF.

a(t)=Fm=[(3t2−4t)i+(6t−5)j]1a(t) = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{[(3t^2 - 4t)i + (6t - 5)j]}{1} a(t)=(3t2−4t)i+(6t−5)j m/s2a(t) = (3t^2 - 4t)i + (6t - 5)j \text{ m/s}^2

The acceleration of P at time tt seconds is (3t2−4t)i+(6t−5)j m/s2\boxed{(3t^2 - 4t)i + (6t - 5)j \text{ m/s}^2}.

Step 2: Determine the velocity of P at time tt seconds.
Velocity is the integral of acceleration with respect to time.

v(t)=∫a(t) dt=∫[(3t2−4t)i+(6t−5)j] dtv(t) = \int a(t)\,dt = \int [(3t^2 - 4t)i + (6t - 5)j]\,dt v(t)=(∫(3t2−4t) dt)i+(∫(6t−5) dt)jv(t) = \left(\int (3t^2 - 4t)\,dt\right)i + \left(\int (6t - 5)\,dt\right)j v(t)=(t3−2t2+C1)i+(3t2−5t+C2)jv(t) = (t^3 - 2t^2 + C_1)i + (3t^2 - 5t + C_2)j

We can write the constants of integration as a single vector C=C1i+C2jC = C_1 i + C_2 j.

v(t)=(t3−2t2)i+(3t2−5t)j+Cv(t) = (t^3 - 2t^2)i + (3t^2 - 5t)j + C

We are given that at t=3t=3 seconds, the velocity is v(3)=(11i+10j)v(3) = (11i + 10j) m/s.
Substitute t=3t=3 into the velocity equation:

v(3)=(33−2(32))i+(3(32)−5(3))j+Cv(3) = (3^3 - 2(3^2))i + (3(3^2) - 5(3))j + C v(3)=(27−18)i+(27−15)j+Cv(3) = (27 - 18)i + (27 - 15)j + C v(3)=9i+12j+Cv(3) = 9i + 12j + C

Equating this to the given velocity:

11i+10j=9i+12j+C11i + 10j = 9i + 12j + C C=(11i+10j)−(9i+12j)C = (11i + 10j) - (9i + 12j) C=(11−9)i+(10−12)jC = (11 - 9)i + (10 - 12)j C=2i−2jC = 2i - 2j

Substitute CC back into the velocity equation:

v(t)=(t3−2t2)i+(3t2−5t)j+(2i−2j)v(t) = (t^3 - 2t^2)i + (3t^2 - 5t)j + (2i - 2j) v(t)=(t3−2t2+2)i+(3t2−5t−2)j m/sv(t) = (t^3 - 2t^2 + 2)i + (3t^2 - 5t - 2)j \text{ m/s}

The velocity of P at time tt seconds is (t3−2t2+2)i+(3t2−5t−2)j m/s\boxed{(t^3 - 2t^2 + 2)i + (3t^2 - 5t - 2)j \text{ m/s}}.

Step 3: Determine the kinetic energy of P when it is moving parallel to the vector ii.
When the particle is moving parallel to the vector ii, its jj-component of velocity is zero.
From the velocity equation in Step 2, set the jj-component to zero:

3t2−5t−2=03t^2 - 5t - 2 = 0

Factor the quadratic equation:

(3t+1)(t−2)=0(3t + 1)(t - 2) = 0

This gives two possible values for tt: t=−13t = -\frac{1}{3} s or t=2t = 2 s.
Since time cannot be negative, we take t=2t = 2 s.
Now, find the velocity of P at t=2t=2 s:

v(2)=(23−2(22)+2)i+(3(22)−5(2)−2)jv(2) = (2^3 - 2(2^2) + 2)i + (3(2^2) - 5(2) - 2)j v(2)=(8−8+2)i+(12−10−2)jv(2) = (8 - 8 + 2)i + (12 - 10 - 2)j v(2)=2i+0jv(2) = 2i + 0j

So, v(2)=2iv(2) = 2i m/s.
The magnitude of the velocity is ∣v(2)∣=22+02=2|v(2)| = \sqrt{2^2 + 0^2} = 2 m/s.
The kinetic energy KEKE is given by the formula KE=12mv2KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2.
Given m=1m=1 kg and v=2v=2 m/s:

KE=12(1 kg)(2 m/s)2KE = \frac{1}{2}(1 \text{ kg})(2 \text{ m/s})^2
