Final answer:
To solve the initial value problem, we need to integrate the given acceleration function twice and use the initial conditions to find the constants of integration.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the initial value problem d2s/dt2 = -16sin(4t - π/2) - 16sin4t - π/2, s'(0) = 500, s(0) = 0, we can follow these steps:
Integrate the given acceleration function twice to find the expression for s(t).
Use the initial condition s'(0) = 500 to solve for the constant of integration.
Use the initial condition s(0) = 0 to solve for another constant of integration.
After following these steps, you should obtain the solution to the initial value problem.
