u v Part (a) We’ll need the product rule. They want us to find acceleration, which is the derivative of velocity. u’ = -1 v’ = t cos (t2/2) a(t) = v’(t) = (-1)(sin (t2/2)) +(-t-1)(t cos (t2/2)) a(2) = = -sin 2 - 6 cos 2 1.587 or 1.588
“Is the speed of the particle increasing at t=2 ? Why or why not ?” v(2) = -(2+1) sin(4/2) v(2) = -3 sin 2 Since a(2) was positive, but v(2) is negative, the SPEED of the particle is DECREASING at t=2.
Part (b) The velocity changes direction when v(t) = 0. -(t+1) sin (t2/2) = 0 t could be -1, since that would make the first parenthesis equal to zero. Unfortunately, -1 is not in the interval 0 < t < 3.
The velocity changes direction when v(t) = 0. -(t+1) sin (t2/2) = 0 t could also be 0, since the sine of 0 is equal to zero. Unfortunately, 0 is outside the interval 0 < t < 3.
NOTE: t= - 2pis not in the interval. t= 2p The velocity changes direction when v(t) = 0. -(t+1) sin (t2/2) = 0 Since sin (t2/2) must be equal to 0, t2/2 has to be equal to p. This works because sin p = 0. t2/2 = p t2 = 2p
2p 3 2p 0 0 TD = -(t+1) sin (t2/2) dt 3 TD = - -(t+1) sin (t2/2) dt + -(t+1) sin (t2/2) dt Using the graphing calculator... + -(-3.265) 1.069 Part (c) TD = 4.333 or 4.334
s(t) will be a maximum either at the endpoints(t = 0 & t =3), or when its derivative [v(t)] is zero. From Part (c), we know that v(t) = 0 at t = 2p. 2p -(t+1) sin (t2/2) dt = -3.265 0 Part (d) The greatest distance from the particle to the origin occurs when s(t) is a MAXIMUM. From Part (c)... 3 -(t+1) sin (t2/2) dt = 1.069 2p

Therefore, the greatest distance from the origin would be 2.265 units. As you could see, the greatest distance from the origin happened right here. -4 -2 2 0 4 Since the entire distance traveled by the particle was only 4.334, it will not make it all the way back to the origin.. t = 2px = -2.265 3 2p
