BC-4
The path of a particle is given by $\frac{dx}{dt} = \sqrt{\sin t + 1}$ and $\frac{dy}{dt} = \cos(t^2)$ for $t \ge 0$. The position of the
particle at $t = 2$ is $(-6, 4)$.
(a) Find the velocity vector and the speed at $t = 1$.
(b) Find the acceleration vector for any time $t \ge 0$.
(c) Find the equation of the line tangent to the path of the particle at $t = 1$.
(d) Find the total distance travelled by the particle from $t = 0$ to $t = 1$.
(e) Find the first time, $t$, such that the path of the particle has a horizontal tangent.
(f) In the time interval $0 < t < 6$, is the particle ever at rest? Explain.
