    Solve 2-D Motion: Find Direction at t=0 & t=3.5

    A particle's trajectory is defined as x = (1/2t^3 - 2t^2) m and y = (1/2t^2 - 2t)m where t is in s. What is the particle's direction of motion, measured from the x axis, at t=0 and t= 3.5, measured in degrees counterclockwise from the x axis. I started out by plugging in t = 0 and t = 3.5...
