00:01
We have two particles here.
00:03
We have taking paths t, sine t, cos t, and t, 0, 1.
00:12
We'd like to describe any intersections of the curves.
00:15
Well, that would mean that t equals t, for the x component.
00:20
Sine t equals 0, and cos t equals 1.
00:24
That is to say they're the same x -coordinate, the same y -coordinate, the same z -coordinate.
00:28
T equals t is vacuous.
00:29
It's always going to be true, so you don't need to worry about that.
00:33
Sine t equals 0 tells us that t is a multiple of pi.
00:37
And cos t equals 1 tells us that t is a multiple of 2 pi, which means that these are going to intersect whenever t is an integer multiple of 2 pi, which is great.
01:05
Well, ok, that's precise.
01:06
These are the values of t.
01:07
We're going to do that.
01:08
So this way, i've actually skipped ahead.
01:09
This is part b.
01:11
The intersections of these curves are just going to be, let's see.
01:18
So t, sine t, cosine t is going to be a helix in the x direction, x helix, going around the x -axis.
01:34
So if we have this is the x -axis, our y and our z are going to spiral around the x -axis, something like this.
01:46
Whereas this is just a path with z equals 1, y equals 0.
01:53
So it kind of goes along like that, which, of course, because they have the same x value at all points t, are just going to intersect whenever the lines intersect, which is great...
