The position of a squirrel running in a park is given by r⃗ =[(0.280m/s)t+(0.0360m/s2)t2]i^+ (0.0190m/s3)t3j^.
At 5.01 s , how far is the squirrel from its initial position?
At 5.01 s , what is the magnitude of the squirrel's velocity?
At 5.01 s , what is the direction (in degrees counterclockwise from +x-axis) of the squirrel's velocity?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
