6. A particle at (1,0,0) starts moving in space in such a way that its position vector at any time t > 0 is R(t) = (cost + t sin t)i + (sin t – t cos t)j+ tk,t > 0 (a) Find parametric equations for the line tangent to the trajectory of the particle at the point where t = T/2. (b) Calculate the acceleration of the particle at time t = 1/2. (c) Calculate the total distance traveled by the particle in the time interval 0 stsn/2.

Please do explain how it arrived to that answer
6. A particle at (1,0,0) starts moving in space in such a way that its position vector at any time t > 0 is
R(t) = (cost + t sin t)i + (sin t – t cos t)j+ t°k, t > 0
(a) Find parametric equations for the line tangent to the trajectory of the particle at the point
where t = 1/2.
(b) Calculate the acceleration of the particle at time t = 1/2.
(c) Calculate the total distance traveled by the particle in the time interval 0 <tsn/2.
