ax(2)=0,184
ay(2)=1
a(2)=1,017

Explanation:

v(t)=(tsin(π3t),2cos(π2t)t)

ax(t)=ddt(tsin(π3t))=1sin(π3t)+tπ3cos(π3t)

ax(2)=sin(2π3)+2π3cos(2π3)

ax(2)=0,866+2π3(12)

ax(2)=0,866π3

ax(2)=0,8661,05

ax(2)=0,184

ay(t)=ddt(2cos(π2t)t)

ay(t)=2π2sin(π2t)1

ay(t)=πsin(π2t)1

ay(2)=πsin(π22)1

ay(2)=πsinπ1 sinπ=0

ay(2)=π01

ay(2)=1

a(2)=(ax(2))2+((ay(2))2)

a(2)=(0,184)2+(1)2)

a(2)=0,034+1

a(2)=1,034

a(2)=1,017
