Answer

$t=0; t=\dfrac{\pi}{2}; t =\pi$

Work Step by Step

$v(t)=\dfrac{dr}{dt}$ and $v(t)=3 \cos t \ k -5 \sin t j$ Now, $a(t)=\dfrac{dv(t)}{dt}$ or, $a(t)=-3 \sin t \ k -5j \cos t $ Now, $v(t) \times a(t)=(3 \cos t \ k -5 \sin t j) \times (-3 \sin t \ k -5j \cos t) =16 \sin t \ \cos t $ Consider $v (t)\times a (t)=0$ This implies that: $16 \sin t \ \cos t =0$ Either $\sin t =0$ or, $\cos t=0$ Therefore, $t=0; t=\dfrac{\pi}{2}; t =\pi$
