Solution:

Velocity vector v(t) = 3t4 i + 7t5/2 j + 5e2t k .....(1)

Displacement vector s(t) = ∫(3t4 i + 7t5/2 j + 5e2t k) dt

s(t) = 3∫(t4 dt ) i + 7∫(t5/2 dt) j + 5∫e2t dt) k

s(t) = 3(t5/5) i + 7 x (2/7) t7/2 j + 5 (e2t/2) k

s(t) = 3t5/5 i + 2t7/2 j + 5e2t/2 k ......(2)

Acceleration vector a(t) = dv/dt = d/dt(3t4 i + 7t5/2 j + 5e2t k)

a(t) = 3x4t3 i + 7x5/2xt3/2 j + 5x2xe2t k

a(t) = 12t3 i + 35/2xt3/2 j + 10e2t k ...
