Answer

$-\sqrt 2$ m/s, $\sqrt 2$ m/s, $\sqrt 2m/s^2$, $\sqrt 2m/s^3$

Work Step by Step

Given the position equation $s(t)=2-2sin(t)$, we have: 1. velocity at $t=\pi/4$, $v(t)=s'(t)=-2cos(t)=-2cos(\pi/4)=-\sqrt 2$ m/s 2. speed at $t=\pi/4$, $|v(t)|=\sqrt 2$ m/s 3. acceleration at $t=\pi/4$, $a(t)=v'(t)=2sin(t)=2sin(\pi/4)=\sqrt 2m/s^2$ 4. jerk at $t=\pi/4$, $j(t)=a'(t)=2cos(t)=2cos(\pi/4)=\sqrt 2m/s^3$
