Question

The displacement (in centimeters) of a particle moving back and forth along a straight line is given by the equation of motion s = 3 sin πt + 5 cos πt, where t is measured in seconds. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) Estimate the instantaneous velocity of the particle when t = 1

Answer 1

Velocity is found by taking the derivative of the position function. From there plug in your t value and this will give you the velocity of the particle
