An object's two dimensional velocity is given by v(t)=(t22t,cosπtt). What is the object's rate and direction of acceleration at t=1?

answer :a(1)=(0,1)

Explanation:

ddtv(t)=(ddt(t22t),ddt(cosπtt))

ddtv(t)=a(t)

a(t)=(2t2,πsinπt1)

solve t=1

a(1)=(212,πsinπ11)

a(1)=(0,πsinπ1)

sinπ=0

a(1)=(0,1)
