No initial points?

Explanation:

given that a =(dv)/dt rArr dv=adt rArr v=intadt + Ca=dvdtdv=adtv=adt+C

v_x = int a_xdt = t^3 +2t +C_1vx=axdt=t3+2t+C1
v_y=int a_ydt = -3e^(-2t) +C_2vy=aydt=3e2t+C2
v_z=int a_zdt = 2sin(5t)+C_3vz=azdt=2sin(5t)+C3

v_(x_t=0) = C_1vxt=0=C1
v_(y_t=0) = -3+C_2vyt=0=3+C2
v_(z_t=0) = C_3vzt=0=C3

and we have |v|=sqrt(v_x^2 + v_y^2 + v_z^2)|v|=v2x+v2y+v2z

so

|v|_(t=0) = sqrt(C_1^2+(C_2-3)^2 + C_3^2)|v|t=0=C21+(C23)2+C23

Notice that C_1, C_2C1,C2 and C_3C3 are constants that are calculated by your initial conditions which you didn't specify.

we can find the velocity in vectors by integrating the value of acceleration
i.e. vu2hati+(6/e)hatj+10sin5hatk2ˆi+(6e)ˆj+10sin5ˆk ms^-1ms1

Explanation:

(Given) a=(3t^2+2)hati+6e^(-2t)hatj+10cos 5thatk(3t2+2)ˆi+6e2tˆj+10cos5tˆk
so, int (3t^2+2)hati+(6e^(-2t))hatj+(10cos5hatk)(3t2+2)ˆi+(6e2t)ˆj+(10cos5ˆk)
=[cancel3(t^3/cancel3)+2]hati+6(e^-(2t+1)/(-2t+1))hatj+10sin5hatk
=(t^3+2)hati+6(e^(-2t-1)/(-2t+1))hatj+10sin5hatk
now, for finding velocity put value of t=0.
=((0)^3+2)hati+6(e^(-2(0)-1)/(-2(0)+1))hatj+10sin5hatk
=2hati+6((e)^-1)/1hatj+10sin5hatk
=2hati+(6/e)hatj+10sin5hatk ms^-1
