Parametrized Curves Select a parametrized curve in space over the interval [0, 1] (excluding a straight line or a circle) and create an animation showing a particle moving along the curve. At each instant, represent its velocity vector and acceleration vector. Determine the length of the curve.

Step 1
Select a parametrized curve: A simple choice could be a helix, which is a curve in three-dimensional space. It can be parametrized by the equations x = cos(t), y = sin(t), z = t for t in the interval [0, 1]. Show more…

Give the position vectors of particles moving along various curves in the $x y$ -plane. In each case, find the particle's velocity and acceleration vectors at the stated times, and sketch them as vectors on the curve. Motion on the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=1$ $$\mathbf{r}(t)=(\sin t) \mathbf{i}+(\cos t) \mathbf{j} ; \quad t=\pi / 4 \text { and } \pi / 2$$
