Identify the given acceleration vector as a function of time: \(\mathbf{a}(t) = 2t \hat{\imath} + \left(1 - \frac{4}{t^3}\right) \hat{\jmath}\).
Recognize that velocity is the integral of acceleration with respect to time. To find the velocity function \(\mathbf{v}(t)\), integrate each component of \(\mathbf{a}(t)\) separately:
Use the initial condition given at \(t=4\,s\), where \(\mathbf{v}(4) = 8 \hat{\imath} + 4.125 \hat{\jmath}\), to solve for the constants of integration in both \(v_x(t)\) and \(v_y(t)\).
Once \(\mathbf{v}(t)\) is known, find the displacement \(\Delta \mathbf{r}\) between \(t=2\,s\) and \(t=10\,s\) by integrating the velocity function over this interval:
