4.2 Exercise 10

Avg difficulty 2.5

A particle has a position function r→(t)=cos(1.0t)i^+sin(1.0t)j^+tk^,\overset{\rightarrow}{r} \left(t\right) = \text{cos} \left(1.0 t\right) \hat{i} + \text{sin} \left(1.0 t\right) \hat{j} + t \hat{k} , where the arguments of the cosine and sine functions are in radians. (a) What is the velocity vector? (b) What is the acceleration vector?
