Find the velocity function and show that $\text{v}(t)$ is always orthogonal to $\text{r}(t).$

Show that the speed of the particle is proportional to the angular velocity.

Find the antiderivative of $\text{r}\text{'}(t)=\text{cos}(2t)\text{i}-2\text{sin}t\text{j}+\frac{1}{1+t^2}\text{k}$ that satisfies the initial condition $\text{r}(0)=3\text{i}-2\text{j}+\text{k}.$

Evaluate ${\displaystyle {\int }_0^3\text{‖}t\text{i}+t^2\text{j}\text{‖}dt.}$

An object starts from rest at point $P\left(1,2,0\right)$ and moves with an acceleration of $\text{a}(t)=\text{j}+2\text{k},$ where $\text{‖}\text{a}(t)\text{‖}$ is measured in feet per second per second. Find the location of the object after $t=2$ sec.

Show that if the speed of a particle traveling along a curve represented by a vector-valued function is constant, then the velocity function is always perpendicular to the acceleration function.

Given $\text{r}(t)=t\text{i}+3t\text{j}+t^2\text{k}$ and $\text{u}(t)=4t\text{i}+t^2\text{j}+t^3\text{k},$ find $\frac{d}{dt}\left(\text{r}(t)\times \text{u}(t)\right).$

Given $\text{r}\left(t\right)=⟨t+\text{cos}t,t-\text{sin}t⟩,$ find the velocity and the speed at any time.

Describe and sketch the curve represented by the vector-valued function $\text{r}(t)=⟨6t,6t-t^2⟩.$

Locate the highest point on the curve $\text{r}(t)=⟨6t,6t-t^2⟩$ and give the value of the function at this point.

Find the minimum speed of a particle traveling along the curve $\text{r}(t)=⟨t+\text{cos}t,t-\text{sin}t⟩$ $t\in [0,2\pi ).$

$\frac{d}{dt}\left(\text{r}(t)\times \text{u}(t)\right)$

Now, use the product rule for the derivative of the cross product of two vectors and show this result is the same as the answer for the preceding problem.

$\text{r}(t)=⟨t,\frac{1}{t}⟩.$ The graph is shown here:

$\text{r}(t)=⟨t\text{cos}t,t\text{sin}t⟩$

$\text{r}(t)=⟨t+1,2t+1,2t+2⟩$

${\displaystyle \int \left(e^t\text{i}+\text{sin}t\text{j}+\frac{1}{2t-1}\text{k}\right)dt}$

${\displaystyle {\int }_0^1\text{r}(t)dt},$ where $\text{r}(t)=⟨\sqrt[3]{t},\frac{1}{t+1},e^{\text{−}t}⟩$
