How do I do part B? @UnkleRhaukus
For the first one we just take the deriv of each thing right?
yeah i think so , tell me what you get for a
for veloctiry i get <cos(t)/2, sqrt(3) cost/ 2, -sin(t)> acceleration <-sin(t)/2,-sqrt(3) sin(t) /2 , -cos(t)>
what are your three co-ordinates
what do you mean?
didnt i just write them out
\[\langle x,y,z \rangle\]or\[\langle\rho,\theta,\phi\rangle\]
I just put out the xyz
But how would I do part b ofthis?
I am faily sure a is right
if it is x,y,z you should be able to tell me the equation of a sphere in these co-ordinates, dont forget r^2=
x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = r%2
the left hand side is constant you have a sphere
why is it left
if the left hand side is constant you have a sphere
constant*
p=<x,y,z>=<sin(t)/2, sqrt(3) sin(t) /2 , cos(t)>
square each component and add, if you have a number that is constant you have a shpere
do i plug in the number 1 for t?
no leave t as t
then how i prove it equals 1 from the origin
\[\left(\frac{\sin(t)}2\right)^2+ \left(\frac{\sqrt 3 \sin(t)} 2\right)^2 +\cos^2(t)\] \[=\] \[=\]
if you get it right \(t\) will magically drop out of the equation using some trig identity
