Question: Find both F' and F'' for F(t) = (4sin^2 t)i + (9cos^2 t)j + tk

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

F(t) = (4sin^2 t)i + (9cos^2 t)j + tk

F'(t) = [4 * (1-cos2t)/2] dt `i + [9 * (1+cos2t)/2] dt `j + 1`k

F'(t) = (2 - 2cos2t) dt `i + [9/2 + (9cos2t)/2] dt `j + 1`k

@& The above two expressions are for F(t), not F ' (t).

The expression in the next line is then correct for F ' (t).*@

F'(t) = 4sin2t `i - 9sin2t `j + `k

F""(t) = 8cos2t `i - 18cos2t `j

@& Be sure you also aware that the derivative of sin^2(t) can be calculated from the 'chain' consisting of the squaring function applied to the sine function, giving you the result (cos t) * 2 sin(t) = 2 sin(t) cos(t).*@

Question: Given the position vector of a particle R(t) = (cos t)i + tj + (4 sin t)k, find the particle's velocity and acceleration vectors and then find

the speed and direction of the particle at t = pi/2.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

R(t) = (cos t)i + tj + (4 sin t)k

V(t) = -sin(t)i + j + 4cos(t)k

A(t) = -cos(t)i - 4sin(t)k

speed = sqrt(V(t)^2)

= sqrt(sin^2t + 1 + 16cos^2t)

= sqrt{(1-cos2t)/2 + 1 + 16[(1+cos2t)/2]}

= sqrt[1/2 - cos2(pi/2) + 9 + 8cos2(pi/2)]

= sqrt[9.5 +7cos(pi)]

= sqrt(9.5 - 7)

=sqrt(2.5) appr= 1.58 units

@& At t = pi/2 we have sin(t) = 1 and cos(t) = 0, so speed = sqrt( 1^2 + 1 + 16 * 0) = sqrt(2).

The double- and half-angle formulas can be handy, but probably complicate things on a problem like this.*@

direction = A dot B = ||A|| * ||B|| cos(theta)

cos^-1 = theta = [V(t) dot A(t)] / {sqrt[V(t)^2] * sqrt[A(t)^2]}

= [(-sinti + 1j + 4costk) * (-costi - 4sintk)] / [sqrt(2.5) * sqrt(cos^2t + 16sin^2t)]

= [sin(t)cos(t) - 16sin(t)cos(t)] / (sqrt(2.5) * {sqrt[(1+cos2t)/2 + 16*(1-cos2t)/2]})

= -15sin(t)cos(t) / {sqrt2.5 * sqrt[.5 + cos(pi)/2 + 8 - 8cos(pi)]}

since sin2u = 2sinucosu, then 7.5sin2u = 15sinucosu

therefore

= 7.5sin(pi) / sqrt(2.5) * sqrt(.5 -.5 + 8 + 8)

= 0/8.5

therefore cos(theta) = cos^-1 which means that theta equals 90°

@& This would give you the angle between the velocity and acceleration vectors.

The direction of motion, however, would be specified by the unit vector in the direction of v(t). That would be just v(t) / || v(t) ||, easily enough calculated.

At t = pi/2 you have v(t) = - `i + `j, and the unit vector in the direction of motion would be (-`i + `j) / sqrt(2) = etc..

When t = pi / 2 the v and a vectors would indeed be perpendicular.*@

The velocity is 1.58 units in the direction of 90 degrees.

Question: Find Integral((e^t)* dt)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Integral((e^t)* dt)

= Integral of t*e^t i + 4t^2*e^t j + e^t*sint k

Use integration by parts to find each component

intergal of u*dv = u*v - intergral of v*dv

u=t,dv= e^t

du=dt, v=e^t

Intergral t*e^t = t*e^t - integrale e^t*dt

= e^t(t-1)i + C

integral 4t^2 * e^t

u=4t^2, dv = e^t

du=8tdt, v = e^t

=4t^2*e^t - integral 8t*e^tdt

u=8t, dv=e^t

du=8dt, v=e^t

= 4t^2*e^t - 8t*e^t - 8e^t

= 4e^t *(t^2 - 2t -2)j + C

integral e^t*sin(t)

u=sin(t), dv=e^t

du=cos(t), v=e^t

integralu*dv = u*v - integral vdu

integral e^t*sint = sin(t)*e^t - integral e^t*cos(t)

u=sin(t), dv=e^t

du=cos(t), v=e^t

intergral e^tsin(t) = sin(t) - cos(t)*e^t - integral sin(t)*e^t

2integral e^t*sin(t) = sint*e^t - cos(t)*e^t

integral e^t*sin(t) = {e^t*[sin(t)^e^t - cos(t)*e^t]/2} + C

Therefore the final solution for the integral of ((e^t)* dt)

is

= e^t(t-1)i + 4e^t *(t^2 - 2t -2)j + {e^t*[sin(t)^e^t - cos(t)*e^t]/2}k + C

Question: Find the velocity and position vectors given the acceleration vector `A(t) = 4(t^2)i - 2 sqrt(t) j + 5(e^3t)k, initial position

R(0) = 2i + j -3k and initial velocity v(0) = 4i + j + 2k.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

A(t) = 4(t^2)i - 2 sqrt(t) j + 5(e^3t)k

V(t) = (4/3)t^3 i - (4/3)t^(3/2) j + (5/3)e^3t k + C_1

V(0) = 0 i - 0 j + 5/3 k + C_1 = 4i + j + 2k

C_1 = 4i + j + (1/3)k

The velocity vector is:

v(t) = [(4/3)t^3 + 4]i - [(4/3)t^(3/2) + 1]j + [(5/3)e^3t + (1/3)] k

R(t) = [((t^4)/3 + 4t]i - [(8/15)t^(5/2) + t]j + [(5/9)e^3t + (t/3)] k + C_2

R(0) = 0i - 0j + 5/9k + C_2 = 2i + j -3k

C_2 = 2i + j - (32/9)k

The position vector is:

R(t) = [((t^4)/3 + 4t + 2]i - [(8/15)t^(5/2) + t +1]j + [(5/9)e^3t + (t/3) - (32/9)] k

Question: F(t) = e^(-kt)i + e^(kt)k. Show that F and F'' are parallel.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

F(t) = e^(-kt)i + e^(kt)k

F'(t) = -[e^(-kt) / k]i + [e^(kt) / k] 'k

for clerification, k is constant and 'k is the z component

F""(t) = [e^(-kt)]/(k^2)i + e^(kt)/(k^2)k

F(t) and F""(t) are scalars. The only difference is F(t) is multiplied by (1/k^2), therefore the two are parrallel

However F '' ( t) is a scalar multiple of F(t), by factor 1 / k^2, which shows that the vectors are parallel.
