Question: A bird flies in the xy-plane with a velocity vector given by v = (a - Pt2) i + -ytj, with a = 2.4 m/s,

A bird flies in the xy-plane with a velocity vector given by v = (a - Pt2) i + -ytj, with a = 2.4 m/s, p = 1.6 m/S3, and -y = 4.0m/S2. The positive y-direction is vertically upward at t = 0 the bird is at the origin.
(a) Calculate the position and acceleration vectors of the bird as functions of time.
(b) What is the bird's altitude (y-coordinate) as it flies over x = 0 for the first time after t = O?
