Problem

A particle moves in space with velocity v(t)=⟨3t2, 4sin⁡t, 0⟩\mathbf v(t)=\langle 3t^{2},\,4\sin t,\,0\rangle, where tt is measured in seconds and the components are in meters per second. At time t=0t=0 the particle is located at the point (2,−1,3)(2,-1,3). (a) Determine the position vector r(t)\mathbf r(t) for all real tt. (b) Evaluate the particle’s position at t=2t=2 seconds.
