I'm having trouble approaching this problem. I'm not sure how to set it up. Any help would be appreciated especially with necessary formulas and equations. Thank you.

A particle moves in the xy plane with constant acceleration. At time zero, the particle is at x = 7.0 m, y = 9.0 m, and has velocity v = 5.0 m/s + -10.0 m/s . The acceleration is given by the vector a = 7.0 m/s2 + 0 m/s2 .


I need to find the velocity vector at time= 6 seconds and position vector at 4 seconds. Thanks again.

Thanks anyway, I figured it out.
 
You're welcome.

Congrats on taking action and re-approaching the problem.
