To find the velocity components, we need to differentiate the position vector with respect to time. The position vector is given as r(t) = [(0.280 m/s)t + (0.0360 m/s^2)t^2]î + (0.0190 m/s^3)t^3ĵ.
The x-component of the position is x(t) = (0.280 m/s)t + (0.0360 m/s^2)t^2. To find the x-component of the velocity, differentiate x(t) with respect to time t: υx(t) = d/dt[(0.280 m/s)t + (0.0360 m/s^2)t^2].
Apply the power rule of differentiation: d/dt[at^n] = n*at^(n-1). For the term (0.280 m/s)t, the derivative is 0.280 m/s. For the term (0.0360 m/s^2)t^2, the derivative is 2*(0.0360 m/s^2)t = 0.0720 m/s^2 * t.
Thus, the x-component of the velocity is υx(t) = 0.280 m/s + 0.0720 m/s^2 * t.
Now, for the y-component of the position, y(t) = (0.0190 m/s^3)t^3. Differentiate y(t) with respect to time t to find the y-component of the velocity: υy(t) = d/dt[(0.0190 m/s^3)t^3]. Using the power rule, the derivative is 3*(0.0190 m/s^3)t^2 = 0.0570 m/s^3 * t^2. Therefore, the y-component of the velocity is υy(t) = 0.0570 m/s^3 * t^2.

Differentiation
Differentiation is a mathematical process used to find the rate at which a quantity changes. In physics, it is often used to determine velocity from a position function. By differentiating the position function with respect to time, we can find the velocity components, which are the derivatives of the position components.

Vector Components
Vector components are the projections of a vector along the axes of a coordinate system. In this problem, the position vector r is expressed in terms of its x-component (î) and y-component (ĵ). Understanding how to separate these components is crucial for calculating the velocity in each direction independently.
