The equation of motion is \(\ s=2costy+3sint, t\le0 \). Find velocity/acceleration at time t. I took the derivative to find the velocity, but got 0...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that 2cos(ty) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good catch! That's supposed to be a t only.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[s=2\cos(y) + 3\sin(t) , t \le0\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops cos(t)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the velocity at time t is just the derivative. Can you differentiate that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Dido525 I tried, but I got 0, which doesn't seem correct.
