Solution

Consider a particle moving along $XY-$ direction with constant acceleration $\vec{a}$ and at time $t=0$, the velocity is initial velocity which is $\overrightarrow{v_{0}}$ and at time $t=t$, velocity is $\vec{v}$.

Since the particle is moving with constant acceleration, the instantaneous acceleration can be written as,

$\therefore \vec{a}=\frac{\vec{v}-\vec{v}_{0}}{t-0}$

$\therefore \vec{a}=\frac{\vec{v}-\vec{v}_{0}}{t}$

$\therefore \vec{v}=\overrightarrow{v_{0}}+\overrightarrow{a t}$

Writing this equation in terms of its components,

$v_{x}=v_{0 x}+a_{x} t$

$v_{y}=v_{0 y}+a_{y} t$

Let at $t=0$ the position vector of the particle is

given by $\overrightarrow{r_{0}}$ and at $t=t$ it is $\vec{r}$.
