Chapter 02, Problem 015

We use to solve the problem.

(a) The velocity of the particle is

Thus, at , the velocity is

(b) Since , it is moving in the direction at .

(c) At , the speed is .

(d) For , decreases until it vanishes. For , increases from

zero to the value it had in part (c). Then, is larger than that value for .

(e) Yes, since smoothly changes from negative values (consider the result) to positive (note that

as , we have ). One can check that when .

(f) No. In fact, from , we know that for .
