Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related CAL2.103 Vector Velocity and Acceleration skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

For a twice-differentiable vector position r(t)= with v(t0)≠0, which choice correctly identifies velocity, acceleration, and speed at t0?

Av=, a=, speed=x'+y'+z'

Bv=, a=, speed=sqrt(x²+y²+z²)

Cv=, a=, speed=dy/dx

Dv=, a=, speed=sqrt((x')²+(y')²+(z')²), all evaluated at t0

Solution & Explanation:Velocity is the first derivative of position, acceleration is the second derivative, and speed is the magnitude of velocity. All components must be differentiated with respect to the parameter t.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

For r(t)=2, 2t², 3t²> at t=1, which statement is true?

AVelocity and acceleration are perpendicular, so speed is unchanged.

BVelocity is zero, so direction is undefined.

CVelocity and acceleration point in the same direction, so speed is increasing.

DAcceleration points opposite velocity, so speed is decreasing.

Solution & Explanation:At t=1, v=<2,4,6> and a=<2,4,6>. They are the same nonzero vector, so v·a>0 and the speed is increasing.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

For r(t)=, what is the cosine of the angle between the direction of motion and the positive z-axis?

A1/sqrt(5)

B2/sqrt(5)

Csqrt(5)/2

Solution & Explanation:v(t)=<-sin t,cos t,2>, and ∣∣v(t)∣∣ =sqrt(1+4)=sqrt(5). The unit direction has z-component 2/sqrt(5), which is the cosine of the angle with the positive z-axis.
