The displacement (in centimeters) of a particle moving back and forth along a straight line is given by the equation of motion
s = 5 sin(πt) + 2 cos(πt),
where t is measured in seconds. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
a) Find the average velocity during each time period.
(i) [1, 2]
cm/s
(ii) [1, 1.1]
cm/s
(iii) [1, 1.01]
cm/s
(iv) [1, 1.001]
cm/s
(b) Estimate the instantaneous velocity of the particle when t = 1.
cm/s

a) Find the average velocity during each time period.
(i) [1, 2] cm/s
s(t)=5sin(πt)+2cos(πt)s(1)=5sin(π)+2cos(π)=−2s(2)=5sin(2π)+2cos(2π)=0+2=2Averagevelocity=2−−22−1=4cm/sec
(ii) [1, 1.1] cm/s
(iii) [1, 1.01] cm/s
(iv) [1, 1.001] cm/s
(b) Estimate the instantaneous velocity of the particle when t = 1.
cm/s
v(1)=5πcos(π)−2πsin(π)=−5π−0=−5πcm/sec
You can do the others yourself :)
