Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Velocity (v(t)):

To find the velocity, we'll differentiate the position function, r(t), with respect to time (t).

r(t) = tsin(t)i + tcos(t)j + 6t^2k

Differentiating each component with respect to time:

r'(t) = (d/dt)(tsin(t))i + (d/dt)(tcos(t))j + (d/dt)(6t^2)k

Using the product rule and the chain rule, we can simplify the derivatives:

r'(t) = (sin(t) + tcos(t))i + (-cos(t) + tsin(t))j + (12t)k

Therefore, the velocity of the particle is given by:

v(t) = (sin(t) + tcos(t))i + (-cos(t) + tsin(t))j + (12t)k

(b) Acceleration (a(t)):

To find the acceleration, we'll differentiate the velocity function, v(t), with respect to time (t).

v(t) = (sin(t) + tcos(t))i + (-cos(t) + tsin(t))j + (12t)k

Differentiating each component with respect to time:

v'(t) = (d/dt)(sin(t) + tcos(t))i + (d/dt)(-cos(t) + tsin(t))j + (d/dt)(12t)k

Using the product rule and the chain rule, we can simplify the derivatives:

v'(t) = (cos(t) - tsin(t))i + (-sin(t) + tcos(t))j + 12k

Therefore, the acceleration of the particle is given by:

a(t) = (cos(t) - tsin(t))i + (-sin(t) + tcos(t))j + 12k

(c) Speed:

The speed of a particle is the magnitude of its velocity vector.

Speed = |v(t)| = sqrt[(sin(t) + tcos(t))^2 + (-cos(t) + tsin(t))^2 + (12t)^2]
