Suppose that the equation of motion for a particle (where s is in meters and t is in seconds) is s = sin(4?t) (a) Find the velocity and acceleration as functions of t. Velocity at time t = (cos(4(pi)t))(4(pi)) Acceleration at time t = (-16((pi)^2))(sin(4(pi)t)) (b) Find the acceleration after 1 second. Acceleration after 1 second: (-16((pi)^2))(sin (c) Find the acceleration (in absolute value) at the instant when the velocity is 0. Acceleration:

Motion of a Particle A particle moves along a straight line. The distance of the particle from the origin at time $t$ is given by $$s(t)=\sin t+2 \cos t$$ Find the velocity at the following times. $$(a)t=0 \quad \text { (b) } t=\pi / 4 \quad \text { (c) } t=3 \pi / 2$$ Find the acceleration at the following times. $$(d)t=0 \quad \text { (e) } t=\pi / 4 \quad \text { (f) } t=\pi$$
