    The velocity as a function of time for an asteroid in the asteroid belt is given by
    v(t)= v0e^(t/t0) I + v0t/2t0 j

    with vo and to constants.

    Use ti = 0 as the initial time, and tf = 1.5 to as the final time.

    The values for the constants that you will use are:

    vo = 4.5 m/s
    to = 80 s

    Find the displacement of the asteroid.

    I don't understand why you introduced the factors t_i and t_f, but be that as it may...

    Given the velocity functions you can find the displacements in the i and j directions by integrating:





    Hope this helps.
