How do you integrate a vector-valued function ?
What is the distance formula in 2D?
How are the components of a vector-valued function integrated?
Each component is integrated separately, treating each as its own integral problem.
What do the constants of integration represent when integrating a vector-valued function representing velocity?
The initial position of the particle.
What information can be obtained by integrating a vector-valued acceleration function?
The velocity function, plus a constant of integration representing initial velocity.
How do you find the position of a particle at time t given its velocity vector and initial position?
- Integrate the velocity vector to find the position vector. 2. Use the initial position to solve for the constant of integration. 3. Plug in t to find the position at that time.
How do you find the distance of a particle from the origin at time t, given its velocity vector and initial position?
- Integrate the velocity vector to find the position vector. 2. Use the initial position to solve for the constant of integration. 3. Plug in t to find the position at that time. 4. Use the distance formula to find the distance from the origin.
