a(t) = (-9cos(-3t)) i + (-9sin(-3t)) j + (-2t) k
initial velocity is v(0) = i + k , and the initial position vector is r(0) = i+j+k
We know that acceleration = dV/dt, the Rate of change of velocity wrt Time
So V(t) = integral [a*dt] = integral[ (-9cos(-3t)) i + (-9sin(-3t)) j + (-2t) k]*dt
= -3Sin(3t) i - 3Cos(3t) j - t^2 k + C --------A
When t= 0, We get V(0) = -3Sin(0) ...
