Solution

The correct option is A 35 m/s, θ=tan1(2)
Given that , r=3t^i+3t2^j4^k.
We know that,velocity is derivative of position with respect to time,
v=drdt=3^i+23t^j

Now to find the magnitude and direction of velocity at t=3 s we put the value in the above equation

v(t=3 s)=3^i+6^j,
magnitude of the vector a^i+b^j is given by a2+b2 and direction is given by tanθ=ba.
Hence,
|v|=32+62=35 m/s

θ=tan1(63)=tan1(2)
