Answer

$0$ m/s, $0$ m/s, $-\sqrt 2m/s^2$, $0m/s^3$

Work Step by Step

Given the position equation $s(t)=sin(t)+cos(t)$, we have: 1. velocity at $t=\pi/4$, $v(t)=s'(t)=cos(t)-sin(t)=cos(\pi/4)-sin(\pi/4)=0$ m/s 2. speed at $t=\pi/4$, $|v(t)|=0$ m/s 3. acceleration at $t=\pi/4$, $a(t)=v'(t)=-sin(t)-cos(t)=-sin(\pi/4)-cos(\pi/4)=-\sqrt 2m/s^2$ 4. jerk at $t=\pi/4$, $j(t)=a'(t)=-cos(t)+sin(t)=-cos(\pi/4)+sin(\pi/4)=0m/s^3$
