(a) Since m=1, Newton's law of motion gives
a(t)=v′(t)=F(t)=^−sintk^
Integating gives
v(t)=t^+costk^+c
for some constant vector c. Since v(0)=^+k^, we have c=^
so that
r′(t)=v(t)=^+t^+costk^
Integating again gives
r(t)=t^+2t2^+sintk^+c
for some (new) constant vector c. Since r(0)=^, we have
c=^
so that
r(t)=t^+(1+2t2)^+sintk^
(b) The particle has x=π/2 when t=π/2 and then
r1=r(π/2)=2π^+(1+8π2)^+k^
(c)
The work done between time t=0 and time t=π/2 is
∫0π/2F(t)⋅dr=∫0π/2F(t)⋅dtdr(t)dt=∫0π/2[^−sintk^]⋅[^+t^+costk^]dt=∫0π/2[t−sintcost]dt=[2t2+21cos2t]0π/2=8π2−21
