The positions of two particles on the s-axis are s 1 = sin t and s 2

Question:

The positions of two particles on the s-axis are s1 = sin t and s2 = sin (t + π/3), with s1 and s2 in meters and t in seconds.

a. At what time(s) in the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π do the particles meet?

b. What is the farthest apart that the particles ever get?

c. When in the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π is the distance between the particles changing the fastest?
