Answer

- Velocity $=0m/s$ - Speed $=0m/s$ - Acceleration $=-\sqrt2m/s^2$ - Jerk $=0m/s^3$

Work Step by Step

$$s=f(t)=\sin t+\cos t$$ a) Velocity $v$: $$v(t)=f'(t)=(\sin t+\cos t)'=\cos t-\sin t$$ So, $$v(\pi/4)=\cos(\pi/4)-\sin(\pi/4)=\frac{\sqrt2}{2}-\frac{\sqrt2}{2}=0(m/s)$$ b) Speed: The speed at time $t=\pi/4$ $=|v(\pi/4)|=0(m/s)$. c) Acceleration $a$: $$a(t)=v'(t)=(\cos t-\sin t)'=-\sin t-\cos t$$ So, $$a(\pi/4)=-\sin(\pi/4)-\cos(\pi/4)=-\frac{\sqrt2}{2}-\frac{\sqrt2}{2}=-\sqrt2(m/s^2)$$ d) Jerk $j$: $$j(t)=a'(t)=(-\sin t-\cos t)'=-\cos t+\sin t$$ Therefore, $$j(\pi/4)=-\cos(\pi/4)+\sin(\pi/4)=-\frac{\sqrt2}{2}+\frac{\sqrt2}{2}=0(m/s^3)$$
