Solution

The displacement of a particle is given by the integral of the velocity with respect to time.

Given the velocity components dx/dt = 2t and dy/dt = 4, we can find the x and y displacements by integrating these expressions from t = 0 to t = 2.

For the x component: ∫ from 0 to 2 of (2t dt) = [t^2] from 0 to 2 = 4 - 0 = 4 units.

For the y component: ∫ from 0 to 2 of (4 dt) = [4t] from 0 to 2 = 8 - 0 = 8 units.

So, the particle has moved 4 units in the x direction and 8 units in the y direction.

The magnitude of this displacement can be found using the Pythagorean theorem: √(x^2 + y^2) = √(4^2 + 8^2) = √(16 + 64) = √80 = 8.94 units (rounded to two decimal places).

So, the magnitude of the displacement at t = 2 s is approximately 8.94 units.
