Suppose that a piston is moving straight up and down and that its position at time t

Question:

Suppose that a piston is moving straight up and down and that its position at time t sec is s = Acos (2πbt), with A and b positive. The value of A is the amplitude of the motion, and b is the frequency (number of times the piston moves up and down each second). What effect does doubling the frequency have on the piston’s velocity, acceleration, and jerk? (Once you find out, you will know why some machinery breaks when you run it too fast.)
