(a)
According to Newton,
mr′′(t)=F(t)so thatr′′(t)=−3t^+sint^+2e2tk^
Integrating once gives
r′(t)=−32t2^−cost^+e2tk^+c
for some constant vector c. We are told that r′(0)=v0=2π2^. This forces c=2π2^+^−k^
so that
r′(t)=(2π2−23t2)^+(1−cost)^+(e2t−1)k^
Integrating a second time gives
r(t)=(2π2t−2t3)^+(t−sint)^+(21e2t−t)k^+c
for some (other) constant vector c. We are told that r(0)=r0=21k^. This forces c=0
so that
r(t)=(2π2t−2t3)^+(t−sint)^+(21e2t−t)k^
(b) The particle is in the plane x=0 when
0=(2π2t−2t3)=2t(π2−t2)⟺t=0,±π
So the desired time is t=π.
(c) At time t=π, the velocity is
r′(π)=(2π2−23π2)^+(1−cosπ)^+(e2π−1)k^=−π2^+2^+(e2π−1)k^
