How Does Particle P's Motion Change After 2 Seconds?

[JJ!]

Can anyone help me with this question, please?

A particle P is initially at the point (2,6) in relation to an origin, O, and is moving with velocity (3i + j) ms-. It has constant acceleration (16i + 24j) ms-. Show that after 2 seconds it is moving directly away from O, and find its speed at that time.

I would greatly appreciate any help, also details of how to get the answer would be excellent!

Thanks.

Sorry about not posting this in the correct place.

Well with this question, I was not sure about what I need to work out. Considering it is asking for me to firstly show its moving directly away from O, I thought that this may mean that moving directly away is the same as traveling due North (where i = 0).

The initial point (2,6) in component form would be (2i + 6j) with a magnitude of 6.32.

Though I am unsure as to what formula I need to apply to calculate the answer. (sorry for sounding so uncertain!)
