Answer :
I'll tell you how I look at this, although I may be missing something important.
Position = x(t) = 0.5 sin(pt + p/3)
Speed = position' = x'(t) = 0.5 p cos(pt + p/3)
Acceleration = speed' = position ' ' = x ' '(t) = -0.5 p² sin(pt + p/3)
At (t = 1.0),
x ' '(t) = -0.5 p² sin( 4/3 p )
In order to evaluate this, don't I still have to know what 'p' is ? ?
I don't think it can be evaluated with the information given in the question.
