Answer:
a.
b. 
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- Velocity of the particle, v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) .
<h2>
(a):</h2>
The acceleration of the particle at a time is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the particle at that time.

At time t = 3 seconds,

<u>Note</u>:<em> The arguments of the sine is calculated in unit of radian and not in degree.</em>
<h2>
(b):</h2>
The velocity of the particle at some is defined as the rate of change of the position of the particle.

For the time interval of 2 seconds,

The term of the left is the displacement of the particle in time interval of 2 seconds, therefore,

It is the displacement of the particle in 2 seconds.
The most probable reason why the magnets won't stick on the refrigerator is that the body of the refrigerator and the magnets have like poles. If both have negative or both have positive poles facing each other, they will repel. In principle, magnets are attracted to opposite poles and like poles repel.
