What is r0 (1) equal to?
Solution:
To differentiate r(t) = (x(t), y(t), z(t)), we differentiate the three component functions separately.
Using the Quotient Rule,
x0 (t) =
2t3 + 4t − 2t3 + 2t

to Question 1, and the fact that the derivative of f (t) = 2t3 −3t2 +5t+3 is Fb(t) = 6t2 −6t+5,

3. [3+1 points] Find an arc length parameterization of the curve
h πi

in the same direction as the original curve. Try to write your result without sin and cos.
Solution:
Here we are given our reference point t0 = 0, so we don’t have to calculate it.
Next, let us calculate the arc length of the curve from t = 0 to t.
Using the Chain Rule, we obtain
r0 (t) = −3 sin(t) cos2 (t)i + 3 cos(t) sin2 (t)j.
Hence
q
kr (t)k = 9 sin2 (t) cos4 (t) + 9 cos2 (t) sin4 (t)
q
= 9 sin2 (t) cos2 (t)(cos2 (t) + sin2 (t))
q
= 9 sin2 (t) cos2 (t)

= 3 sin(t) cos(t).
Thus the required arc length is

where we have integrated ‘by inspection’ If you can’t spot the integral, then you can use the
substitution u = sin(v).
So we have s = 32 sin2 (t), and solving this for t we obtain

(a) Find an arc-length parameterization for the function with reference point t0 = 0.
Solution:
Here we are given our reference point t0 = 0, so we don’t have to calculate it.
Next, let us calculate the arc length of the curve from t = 0 to t.
We already did this in lectures, finding that s = 5t.

9. [3 points] Consider the motion of a particle moving along a curve, described at time t by
ds
r(t). The velocity of the particle at time t is then v(t) = r0 (t) = T(t).
dt
(a) How do we find the acceleration a(t) of the particle at time t?
Solution:
First derivative is velocity v(t) = r0 (t), and the derivative of velocity is acceleration;
so, a(t) = v0 (t) = r00 (t).
(b) Using v(t), write an expression for calculating the distance traveled between times t1
and t2 .
Solution:
We know that distance traveled is the arc length between t1 and t2 which can be
expressed as

occurring from time t1 to time t2 , r(t2 ) − r(t1 ).
