A particle’s position is given by \( \vec{r}(t) = (3t^2)\hat{i} + (2t + 1)\hat{j} \), where \(t\) is measured in seconds. Determine the displacement vector of the particle from \(t = 1\) second to \(t = 3\) seconds.

Hint Hint

Hint

Evaluate the position vectors at \(t = 1\) and \(t = 3\), then subtract.
