The speed is $=0.44ms^-1$

The speed is the derivative of the position

$p(t)=t-cos(1/4pit)$

$v(t)=p'(t)=1+1/4pisin(1/4pit)$

Therefore,

When $t=7s$

$v(7)=1+1/4pisin(1/4pixx7)=1+1/4pisin(7/4pi)$

$=0.44ms^-1$

The position of an object moving along a line is given by p(t) = t-cos(( pi )/4t) p(t) = t-cos(( pi )/4t) . What is the speed of the object at t = 7 t = 7 ?
