there are least 2 mistakes here you want \(\vec r = \vec r_o + \vec v \; t \) so \(\vec r_o\) should be the position of the particle at t = 0, not t = 1 and there is an arithmetic error in your calculation of \(\vec v\)

I have tried to use the initial point R and was still incorrect.

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

but did you check your algebra as i suggested?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't know where I'm going wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check your \(x\) component again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so I take the point at the initial R and then take the difference between the two points time t. So 9+(-4-9)t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, and what's the coefficient of \(t\)?
