Calculus Trajectory Problem (comment below)
r(t) = <3cost,5sint,4cost> for 0 ≤ t ≤ T suppose the circular path of this function is to be traversed at a constant speed of 15m/s. Find the description of the trajectory. On what interval of 0 ≤ t ≤ T is the circle traversed once? Before this question the previous question was the same but find the speed using \[S(t) = u'(t)\sqrt{f'(u(t))^2+g'(u(t))^{2}+h'(u(t))}\] u(t) = 1 u'(t) = dt in this case I solved that and found that the speed came out to be 5. Now I don't know how to solve for the time interval
In the previous problem time was defined between \[0 \le t \le 2π\]
Also made a mistake above.. u(t) = t u'(t) = 1
@Charollete r(t) is an ellipsoid?
I believe so
@sarahusher @FutureMathProfessor Can you guys help?
@primeralph any idea?
Still need help?
Yea
Any idea how I can find the time interval with constant speed of 15ms?
Equate S to 15.
All you have to do is find the time at which r(t+T) = r(t) = r(0).
