Problem

A particle moves along a straight line so that its displacement from the origin at time tt seconds is given by s(t)=t2sin⁡t1+ts(t)=\dfrac{t^{2}\sin t}{1+t} metres, t≥0t\ge0. (i) Obtain the velocity function v(t)v(t). (ii) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t=π2t=\dfrac{\pi}{2} seconds, giving the answer correct to three decimal places.
