`q001. Note that this assignment has 9 activities.

If the red ant moves at an angular velocity of pi/6 radians every second, starting from the standard initial point, then what will be its angular position at the end of each of the first 12 seconds?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

The angular position changes by pi/6 radians every second. Starting at angular position 0, the angular positions at t = 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 12 will be

pi/6, 2 pi/6, 3 pi/6, 4 pi/6, 5 pi/6, 6 pi/6, 7 pi/6, 8 pi/6, 9 pi/6, 10 pi/6, 11 pi/6, and 12 pi/6.

You might have reduced these fractions the lowest terms, which is good. In any case this will be done in the next problem.

Note that you should be able to quickly sketch and label this circle, which depicts the angles which are multiples of pi/6, whenever you need it.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

1) I had the arc wrong in the 1st one - mistakenly labeled it (1,0) to (-1, 0)

2) don't understand this one - these points are in the 3rd quadrant - the arc is in the 2nd quadrant - unless it extends through 3 quadrants

The given statement

'The points lying 1/3 and 2/3 of the way along the arc between the points (-1,0) and (0,1) are at angular positions 7 pi/6 and 4 pi/3.'

is correct, but it doesn't apply to the interval given in the question. Your answer is correct for the interval as given.

The point lying 1/2 of the way along the arc between the points (0,1) and (-1,0) (the topmost and leftmost points of the circle) is at angular position 3 pi/4.

The point lying 1/2 of the way along the arc between the points (0,-1) and (1,0) is at angular position 7 pi/4.

The point lying 1/2 of the way along the arc between the points (-1,0) and (0,-1) is at angular position 5 pi/4.

These angles are shown in Figure 21. Note that the degree equivalents of the angles are also given.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

1st 2 points are ok. I must have misread the points for the 3rd one. I thought I saw"" the arc between the points (0, -1) and (0-1), making it a complete circle. That's why I gave the answer pi/2.

the arc is again misstated; your answer is correct for the stated problem

If you have not done so you should refer to your figure showing the positions which are multiples of pi/6.

On your picture you will see that the sequence of angular positions 2 pi/3, pi, 4 pi/3, 5 pi/3, 2 pi, 7 pi/3 beginning in the first quadrant and moving through the second, third and fourth quadrants to the 2 pi position, then pi/3 beyond that to the 7 pi/3 position. The 7 pi/3 position is therefore identical to the pi/3 position.

The angular position changes by pi/4 radians every second. Starting at angular position pi/3, the angular positions after successive seconds will be

pi/3 + pi/4,

pi/3 + 2 pi/4,

pi/3 + 3 pi/4,

pi/3 + 4 pi/4,

pi/3 + 5 pi/4,

pi/3 + 6 pi/4,

pi/3 + 7 pi/4 and

pi/3 + 8 pi/4.

These fractions must be added before being reduced to lowest terms. In each case the fractions are added by changing each to the common denominator 12. This is illustrated for pi/3 + 3 pi/4:

We first multiply pi/3 by 4/4 and 3 pi/4 by 3/3, obtaining the fractions 4 pi/12 and 9 pi/12.

So the sum pi/3 + 3 pi/4 becomes 4 pi/12 + 9 pi/12, which is equal to 13 pi/12.

The fractions add up as follows:

pi/3 + pi/4 = 7 pi/12,

pi/3 + 2 pi/4 = 5 pi/6,

pi/3 + 3 pi/4 = 13 pi/12,

pi/3 + 4 pi/4 = 4 pi/3,

pi/3 + 5 pi/4 = 19 pi/12,

pi/3 + 6 pi/4 = 11 pi/6,

pi/3 + 7 pi/4 = 25 pi/12 and

pi/3 + 8 pi/4 = 14 pi / 3.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I added 1/4 to the number each time. I'm not sure I understand why you would add 2pi/4, which would be 1/2pi, then 3pi/4, which would be .75 pi

the ant moves at 1/4 pi rad / s. 1/4 pi rad is added for every second.
