Evaluate (if possible) the vector-valued function at each given value of \(t\). \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\frac{1}{2} t^{2} \mathbf{i}-(t-1) \mathbf{j}\) (a) \(\mathbf{r}(1)\) (b) \(\mathbf{r}(0)\) (c) \(\mathbf{r}(s+1)\) (d) \(\mathbf{r}(2+\Delta t)-\mathbf{r}(2)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The answers are: (a) \(\frac{1}{2}\mathbf{i}\), (b) \(-\mathbf{j}\), (c) \((s+1)\mathbf{i}+s\mathbf{j}\), (d) \( Δt^{2}\mathbf{i} + Δt\mathbf{j}\)

Step by step solution

01

Evaluate at t=1

Substitute \(t=1\) into \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\frac{1}{2} t^{2} \mathbf{i}-(t-1) \mathbf{j}\). Thus \(\mathbf{r}(1)=\frac{1}{2}*1^{2} \mathbf{i}-(1-1) \mathbf{j} = \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{i}'
02

Evaluate at t=0

Substitute \(t=0\) into \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\frac{1}{2} t^{2} \mathbf{i}-(t-1) \mathbf{j}\). Thus \(\mathbf{r}(0)=\frac{1}{2}*0^{2} \mathbf{i}-(0-1) \mathbf{j} = -1\mathbf{j}'
03

Evaluate at t=s+1

Substitute \(t=s+1\) into \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\frac{1}{2} t^{2} \mathbf{i}-(t-1) \mathbf{j}\). Thus \(\mathbf{r}(s+1)=\frac{1}{2}*(s+1)^{2} \mathbf{i}-((s+1)-1) \mathbf{j} = (s+1)\mathbf{i}+s\mathbf{j}\'
04

Evaluate the expression

Substitute t= 2 + Δt and t=2 into \(\mathbf{r}(t)\) and then calculate the difference. Thus, \(\mathbf{r}(2+\Delta t)-\mathbf{r}(2) = [\frac{1}{2}*(2+\Delta t)^{2} \mathbf{i}-((2+Δt)-1) \mathbf{j}]-[\frac{1}{2}*2^{2} \mathbf{i}-(2-1) \mathbf{j}]\) = \( Δt^{2}\mathbf{i} + Δt\mathbf{j}\)

Use the given acceleration function to find the velocity and position vectors. Then find the position at time \(t=2\) $$ \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{a}(t)=\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k} \\ \mathbf{v}(0)=\mathbf{0}, \quad \mathbf{r}(0)=\mathbf{0} \end{array} $$

The position vector \(r\) describes the path of an object moving in the \(x y\) -plane. Sketch a graph of the path and sketch the velocity and acceleration vectors at the given point. $$ \mathbf{r}(t)=\langle t-\sin t, 1-\cos t\rangle,(\pi, 2) $$

Find the indefinite integral. $$ \int\left(4 t^{3} \mathbf{i}+6 t \mathbf{j}-4 \sqrt{t} \mathbf{k}\right) d t $$

Use the properties of the derivative to find the following. (a) \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t)\) (b) \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime \prime}(t)\) (c) \(D_{t}[\mathbf{r}(t) \cdot \mathbf{u}(t)]\) (d) \(D_{t}[3 \mathbf{r}(t)-\mathbf{u}(t)]\) (e) \(D_{t}[\mathbf{r}(t) \times \mathbf{u}(t)]\) (f) \(D_{t}[\|\mathbf{r}(t)\|], \quad t>0\) $$ \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{r}(t)=t \mathbf{i}+2 \sin t \mathbf{j}+2 \cos t \mathbf{k} \\ \mathbf{u}(t)=\frac{1}{t} \mathbf{i}+2 \sin t \mathbf{j}+2 \cos t \mathbf{k} \end{array} $$

Consider a particle moving on a circular path of radius \(b\) described by $$ \begin{aligned} &\mathbf{r}(t)=b \cos \omega t \mathbf{i}+b \sin \omega t \mathbf{j}\\\ &\text { where } \omega=d \theta / d t \text { is the constant angular velocity. } \end{aligned} $$ (a) Show that the speed of the particle is \(b \omega\). (b) Use a graphing utility in parametric mode to graph the circle for \(b=6\). Try different values of \(\omega\). Does the graphing utility draw the circle faster for greater values of \(\omega\) ?
