The equation of the displacement x cm of a particle is given by x = 2 sin (3t), where the time t is
in seconds. The particle is at the centre of the displacement path when x = 0.
a What is the particle?s greatest displacement from the centre?
b At what times is the particle at the centre?

c At what rate is the particle moving after * seconds?

The slope m o fal i n e is related to the angle 0 it makes w i t h the positive direction of the x-axis by
?n= tan ( ) ; the slope of a curve at any point is given by its derivative, which is the slope of the
-mgent. The direction of the tangent is taken as direction of the line.
