Answer

When $t = 0$: $v = 1.57~cm/s$ When $t = 1.0~s$: $v = 1.11~cm/s$ When $t = 2.0~s$: $v = 0$

Work Step by Step

$y = (2.0~cm)~sin~(\frac{\pi t}{4})$ $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~cos~(\frac{\pi t}{4})$ When $t = 0$: $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~cos~(\frac{\pi t}{4})$ $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~cos~[\frac{(\pi) (0)}{4}]$ $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~(1)$ $v = \frac{\pi}{2}~cm/s$ $v = 1.57~cm/s$ When $t = 1.0~s$: $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~cos~(\frac{\pi t}{4})$ $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~cos~[\frac{(\pi) (1.0)}{4}]$ $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})$ $v = 1.11~cm/s$ When $t = 2.0~s$: $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~cos~(\frac{\pi t}{4})$ $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~cos~[\frac{(\pi) (2.0)}{4}]$ $v = (2.0~cm)(\frac{\pi}{4})~(0)$ $v = 0$
