What is the speed of the particle?
speed =
Explanation / Answer
1.
r(t) = P + (Q-P) t
x(t) = 5 + ( 4-5) t = 5 - t
y(t) = -4 + ( 8-(-4)) t = -4+ 12 t
speed = sqrt ( x'(t)^2 + y'(t) ^2 )
speed = sqrt ( 1^2 + 12^2 ) = sqrt 145
2.
r(t) = R + (S-R) t
x(t) = -4 + ( 10-(-4)) t =-4 +14 t
y(t) = 8 + ( -9-8) t = 8-17t
z(t) =9 + ( 8-9) t =9 -t
speed = sqrt ( x'(t)^2 + y'(t) ^2+z'(t)^2 )
speed = sqrt ( 14^2 + 17^2 +1^2 ) = sqrt 486
