**Topic: Understanding Position, Velocity, and Acceleration Vectors in Space**

---

The position vector \( \mathbf{r} \) describes the path of an object moving in space.

### Position Vector

\[ \mathbf{r}(t) = 3t \mathbf{i} + t \mathbf{j} + \frac{1}{8}t^2 \mathbf{k} \]

### Time

\[ t = 4 \]

#### Questions:

(a) **Find the velocity vector \( \mathbf{v}(t) \), speed \( s(t) \), and acceleration vector \( \mathbf{a}(t) \) of the object.**

\[ \mathbf{v}(t) = \boxed{\hspace{100px}} \]

\[ s(t) = \boxed{\hspace{100px}} \]

\[ \mathbf{a}(t) = \boxed{\hspace{100px}} \]

(b) **Evaluate the velocity vector and acceleration vector of the object at the given value of \( t \).**

\[ \mathbf{v}(4) = \boxed{\hspace{100px}} \]

\[ \mathbf{a}(4) = \boxed{\hspace{100px}} \]

---

To proceed with the calculations:

- The velocity vector \( \mathbf{v}(t) \) is obtained by differentiating the position vector \( \mathbf{r}(t) \) with respect to time \( t \).
- The speed \( s(t) \) is the magnitude of the velocity vector \( \mathbf{v}(t) \).
- The acceleration vector \( \mathbf{a}(t) \) is obtained by differentiating the velocity vector \( \mathbf{v}(t) \) with respect to time \( t \).

### Steps:

1. **Calculate \( \mathbf{v}(t) \)**:
   \[ \mathbf{v}(t) = \frac{d}{dt}[3t \mathbf{i} + t \mathbf{j} + \frac{1}{8}t^2 \mathbf{k}] \]

2. **Calculate \( s(t) \)**:
   \[ s(t) = |\mathbf{v}(t)| \]

3. **Calculate \( \mathbf{a}(t) \)**:
   \[ \mathbf{a}(t) = \frac{d}{dt}\mathbf{v}(t
