I think you're using an invalid notation for your derivatives. The on-line help uses a straight ' to denote a derivative (q.v.). For the texts you had better use the writing assistant palette, special symbols, and you'll find a prime and a double prime symbol.
Making these changes, I get a clean result for t == 0, but as soon as the slider is moved an error is reported, which has to do with your code, I guess.

Saludos,

Tomas
