if I say a particle's location is i times t^2 plus j times 9t^3, for every value of time, you can put the numbers in and you can find the velocity by just taking derivatives.

一个质点的位置,i ? t^2 + j ? 9t^3,在每一个时间点,你可以把数值代入,并通过求导得到速度

If you are describing a particle with location R, the vector we use typically to locate a particle, R then R is just i times x + j times y, because you all know that's x and that's y.

如果你要描述一个位移为 R 的质点,这个矢量一般用表示质点 R 的位移,R 可表示为 i ? x + j ? y,显然你们都知道这段是 x,那段是 y
