Question

The indicated figure shows the path of a particle modeled by the vector-valued function

r(t)=πtsinπt,1cosπt.r(t)=\langle\pi t-\sin \pi t, 1-\cos \pi t\rangle .

The figure also shows the vectors v(t)/v(t)v(t) /\|v(t)\| and a(t)/a(t)a(t) /\|a(t)\| at the indicated values of t.

Find aTa_{T} and aNa_{N} at t=12,t=1t=\frac{1}{2}, t=1, and t=32t=\frac{3}{2}.

This is the first part of a two-part exercise, in which we are given the graph of the path of a particle defined with

r(t)=πtsinπt,1cosπt\bm{r}(t)= \langle \pi t-\sin\pi t, \,\, 1-\cos\pi t \rangle

Our job is to find the components of acceleration aTa_{T} and aNa_{N} at points for which t=1/2,t=1t=1/2, t=1 and t=3/2.t=3/2.

What are the tangential and normal components of acceleration, according to the corresponding theorem?
