Let the position vector be v(t) = < e^(t), -sin(2t), t^2 >. Compute the velocity vector r(t).
Added by Tony E.
Step 1
So, we need to find the derivative of each component of the position vector: r(t) = < e^(t), −sin(2t), t^(2) > r'(t) = < e^(t), -2cos(2t), 2t > Show more…

Use the given information to find the position and velocity vectors of the particle. $$ \mathbf{a}(t)=(t+1)^{-2} \mathbf{j}-e^{-2 t} \mathbf{k} ; \mathbf{v}(0)=3 \mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j} ; \mathbf{r}(0)=2 \mathbf{k} $$

Use the given information to find the position and velocity vectors of the particle. $$ \mathbf{a}(t)=\mathbf{i}+e^{-t} \mathbf{j} ; \mathbf{v}(0)=2 \mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j} ; \mathbf{r}(0)=\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j} $$
