v(t)=a(t)dt
Given that
a(t)=2i+2tk
Therefore
v(t)=2i+2tkdt
v(t)=2ti+t2k+c
Where C is constant vector.
Given that v(0)=3ij. Therefore 3ij=C
Substitute value of C, to get
v(t)=2ti+t2k+3ij
v(t)=(2t+3)ij+t2k
r(t)=(t2+3t)i+(1t)j+(t33+1)k
The position vector and the velocity vector for the given acceleration vector is r(t)=(t2+3t)i+(1t)j+(t33+1)k and v(t)=(2t+3)ij+t2k respectively.

Given:
a(t)=2𝐢+2t𝐤
v(0)=3𝐢𝐣
r(0)=𝐣+𝐤
First, let's find the velocity vector 𝐯(t).
Integrating the acceleration, we have:
a(t)dt=(2𝐢+2t𝐤)dt
𝐯(t)=2𝐢dt+2t𝐤dt
𝐯(t)=2t𝐢+t2𝐤+C1
Next, we'll find the constant vector C1 using the initial velocity condition 𝐯(0)=3𝐢𝐣.
Substituting t=0 into the velocity equation, we get:
𝐯(0)=2(0)𝐢+(0)2𝐤+C1
C1=3𝐢𝐣
Therefore, the velocity vector is:
𝐯(t)=2t𝐢+t2𝐤+(3𝐢𝐣)
Now, let's find the position vector 𝐫(t).
Integrating the velocity, we have:
𝐯(t)dt=(2t𝐢+t2𝐤+(3𝐢𝐣))dt
𝐫(t)=2t𝐢dt+t2𝐤dt+(3𝐢𝐣)dt
𝐫(t)=t2𝐢+13t3𝐤+(3t𝐢t𝐣)+C2
Next, we'll find the constant vector C2 using the initial position condition 𝐫(0)=𝐣+𝐤.
Substituting t=0 into the position equation, we get:
𝐫(0)=(0)2𝐢+13(0)3𝐤+(3(0)𝐢(0)𝐣)+C2
C2=𝐣+𝐤
Therefore, the position vector is:
𝐫(t)=t2𝐢+13t3𝐤+(3t𝐢t𝐣)+(𝐣+𝐤)
In short form, the velocity vector 𝐯(t) is 2t𝐢+t2𝐤+(3𝐢𝐣) and the position vector 𝐫(t) is t2𝐢+13t3𝐤+(3t𝐢t𝐣)+(𝐣+𝐤).

Step 1:
First, let's integrate the acceleration vector to find the velocity vector. Integrating a(t) with respect to time, we have:
v(t)=a(t)dt
Integrating each component separately, we get:
vx(t)=2dt=2t+C1
vy(t)=0dt=C2
vz(t)=2tdt=t2+C3
Here, C1, C2, and C3 are constants of integration. Since we know the initial velocity v(0)=3𝐢𝐣, we can substitute t=0 into the expressions above:
vx(0)=2(0)+C1=3C1=3
vy(0)=C2=1
vz(0)=(0)2+C3=0C3=0
Therefore, the velocity vector v(t) is:
v(t)=(2t+3)𝐢𝐣+t2𝐤
Step 2:
Next, let's integrate the velocity vector to find the position vector. Integrating v(t) with respect to time, we have:
r(t)=v(t)dt
Integrating each component separately, we get:
rx(t)=(2t+3)dt=t2+3t+C4
ry(t)=(1)dt=t+C5
rz(t)=t2dt=13t3+C6
Here, C4, C5, and C6 are constants of integration. Using the initial position r(0)=𝐣+𝐤, we substitute t=0:
rx(0)=(0)2+3(0)+C4=0C4=0
ry(0)=(0)+C5=1C5=1
rz(0)=13(0)3+C6=1C6=1
Therefore, the position vector r(t) is:
r(t)=(t2+3t)𝐢+(t+1)𝐣+(13t3+1)𝐤
Thus, we have found the velocity vector v(t) and the position vector r(t) of the particle in terms of time t.
