The position of a particle is given by; \(\vec r(t)=4t\hat i+2t^2\hat j+5\hat k,\) where \(t\) is in seconds and \(r\) in metres. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity \(v(t)\), at \(t=1~\text{s},\) with respect to the \(x\text-\)axis.
1. \(4\sqrt2~\text{ms}^{-1},45^\circ\) 2. \(4\sqrt2~\text{ms}^{-1},60^\circ\)
3. \(3\sqrt2~\text{ms}^{-1},30^\circ\) 4. \(3\sqrt2~\text{ms}^{-1},45^\circ\)
