    Finding position and velocity vectors from acceleration with initial conditions

    That's the part I'm stuck at do i set the lhs equal to zero?

    Finding position and velocity vectors from acceleration with initial conditions

    so the answer must be (1-sin(t))i+(cos(t)+1)j ? in the book however the answer is given (1-sin(t))i+(cos(t)-1)j I don't know where I'm going wrong. Thanks again.

    Finding position and velocity vectors from acceleration with initial conditions

    Homework Statement Use the given information to find the position and velocity vectors of the particle. a(t) = −cos t i − sin t j; v(0) = i; r(0) = j Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Ok first step integrate a(t). which i get to be -sin(t)i +cos(t)j + c now...

    Product rule for dot product of two vector functions

    So the answer is, cos(t)-tsin(t)-2tsin(t)-t^(2)cos(t)
