Prove that if a particle moves along a curve at a constant speed, then the velocity and acceleration vectors are orthogonal.
Explain why the graph of every vector-valued function lies on the intersection of the two cylinders
Find parametric equations for each of the vector-valued functions in Exercises 26鈥34, and sketch the graphs of the functions, indicating the direction for increasing values of t.
For each of the vector-valued functions in Exercises, find the unit tangent vector and the principal unit normal vector at the specified value of t.
Every description of the DNA molecule says that the strands of the helices run in opposite directions. This is meant as a statement about chemistry, not about the geometric shape of the double helix. Consider two helices
(a) Sketch these two helices in the same coordinate system, and show that they run geometrically in different directions.
(b) Explain why it is impossible for these two helices to fail to intersect, and hence why they could not form a configuration for DNA.
