Finding Velocity and Acceleration Along a Plane Curve In Exercises 1-8,the position vector describes the path of an object moving in the xy-plane. (a) Find the velocity vector,speed,and acceleration vector of the object. (b) Evaluate the velocity vector and acceleration vector of the object at the given point. (c) Sketch a graph of the path,and sketch the velocity and acceleration vectors at the given point.

Question
Path of an Object When t = 0, an object is at the point (0, 1) and has a velocity vector v(0) = -i. It moves with an acceleration of a(t) = sin ti - cos 1j. Show that the path of the object is a circle.
Solution
The first step in solving 12.3 problem number 57 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Path of an Object When t = 0, an object is at the point (0, 1) and has a velocity vector v(0) = -i. It moves with an acceleration of a(t) = sin ti - cos 1j. Show that the path of the object is a circle.
From the textbook chapter Velocity and Acceleration you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
