Write the equations of motion for uniformly accelerated motion in a plane.

Consider the motion of a particle described by $x = a \cos t$, $y = a \sin t$, and $z = t$. The trajectory traced by the particle as a function of time is

The $x$ and $y$ coordinates of a particle at any time $t$ are given by $x = 7t + 4t^2$ and $y = 5t$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The acceleration of the particle at $t = 5 \ s$ is ......... $m/s^2$.

$A$ particle starts from the origin at $t=0 \; s$ with a velocity of $10.0 \hat{j} \; m/s$ and moves in the $x-y$ plane with a constant acceleration of $(8.0 \hat{i} + 2.0 \hat{j}) \; m/s^2$.
$(a)$ At what time is the $x$-coordinate of the particle $16 \; m$? What is the $y$-coordinate of the particle at that time?
$(b)$ What is the speed of the particle at that time?
