Instructions. Your work on this exam will be graded according to two criteria: mathe-
matical correctness and clarity of presentation. In other words, you must know what
you are doing (mathematically) and you must also express yourself clearly. In particular,
write answers to questions using correct notation and using complete sentences where
appropriate. Also, you must supply su¢ cient detail in your solutions (relevant calculations,
written explanations of why you are doing these calculations, etc.). It is not su¢ cient to just
write down an “answer” with no explanation of how you arrived at that answer. As a rule
of thumb, the harder that I have to work to interpret what you are trying to say, the less
credit you will get. You may use your calculator but you may not use any books or notes.
1. If two objects travel through space along two di¤erent curves, it’s often important to
know whether the two objects will collide. The two paths of motion might intersect,
but we need to know whether the two objects are in the same place at the same time.
Suppose that the trajectories of two di¤erent particles are given, respectively, by the
vectorvalued functions
r1(t) = D3;p3t; 6t2+8p312t+ 14 8p3E
and
r2(t) = D3t2;p3t; 8E.
Do the two particles collide? If so, at what time do they collide?
Solution: In order for the particles to be in the same place at the same time, there
must be some time tsuch that all of the equations
3t2= 3
p3t=p3t
8 = 6t2+8p312t+ 14 8p3
are satis…ed.
The rst of these equations is satis…ed for t= 1 and so is the second. Let us see if
t= 1 satis…es the third equation:
6 (1)2+8p312(1) + 14 8p3 = 6 + 8p312 + 14 8p3 = 8.
Thus the particles do collide at time t= 1.
2. Find the unit tangent vector to the curve
r(t) = D3t2;p3t; 8E
at the point on the curve corresponding to t= 1.

Instructions. Your work on this exam will be graded according to two criteria: mathe-

matical correctness and clarity of presentation. In other words, you must know what

you are doing (mathematically) and you must also express yourself clearly. In particular,

write answers to questions using correct notation and using complete sentences where

appropriate. Also, you must supply su¢ cient detail in your solutions (relevant calculations,

written explanations of why you are doing these calculations, etc.). It is not su¢ cient to just

write down an ìanswerî with no explanation of how you arrived at that answer. As a rule

of thumb, the harder that I have to work to interpret what you are trying to say, the less

credit you will get. You may use your calculator but you may not use any books or notes.

  1. If two objects travel through space along two di§erent curves, itís often important to know whether the two objects will collide. The two paths of motion might intersect, but we need to know whether the two objects are in the same place at the same time. Suppose that the trajectories of two di§erent particles are given, respectively, by the vectorñvalued functions

r 1 (t) =

D

p 3 t; 6 t 2

p 3 12

t + 14 8

p 3

E

and r 2 (t) =

D

3 t 2 ;

p 3 t; 8

E

Do the two particles collide? If so, at what time do they collide?

Solution: In order for the particles to be in the same place at the same time, there must be some time t such that all of the equations

3 t 2 = 3 p 3 t =

p 3 t

8 = 6t 2

p 3 12

t + 14 8

p 3

are satisÖed.

The Örst of these equations is satisÖed for t = 1 and so is the second. Let us see if t = 1 satisÖes the third equation:

2

p 3 12

p 3 = 6 + 8

p 3 12 + 14 8

p 3 = 8.

Thus the particles do collide at time t = 1.

  1. Find the unit tangent vector to the curve

r (t) =

D

3 t 2 ;

p 3 t; 8

E

at the point on the curve corresponding to t = 1.

Solution: Since r 0 (t) =

D

6 t;

p 3 ; 0

E

and jr 0 (t)j =

p 36 t^2 + 3,

the unit tangent vector (at any point on the curve) is

T (t) =

jr^0 (t)j

r 0 (t) =

6 t p 36 t^2 + 3

p 3 p 36 t^2 + 3

(It is easy to observe that jT (t)j = 1 for all t.) The unit tangent vector at the point on the curve corresponding to t = 1 is

T (1) =

p 39

p 3 p 39

  1. Find the curvature of the curve

r (t) = e t cos (t) ; e t sin (t) ; t

at the point (1; 0 ; 0). (You must, of course, include all calculations in detail.)

Solution: First we compute

r 0 (t) = e t sin (t) + e t cos (t) ; e t cos (t) + e t sin (t) ; 1

= e t (cos (t) sin (t)) ; e t (cos (t) + sin (t)) ; 1

r^00 (t)

= e t ( sin (t) cos (t)) + e t (cos (t) sin (t)) ; e t ( sin (t) + cos (t)) + e t (cos (t) + sin (t)) ; 0

= 2 et^ sin (t) ; 2 et^ cos (t) ; 0

and

jr 0 (t)j =

q (et^ (cos (t) sin (t)))

2

  • (et^ (cos (t) + sin (t)))

2

  • (1)

2

p e^2 t^ (1 2 sin (t) cos (t)) + e^2 t^ (1 + 2 sin (t) cos (t)) + 1

=

p 2 e^2 t^ + 1.

At t = 0 (which corresponds to the point (1; 0 ; 0)), we have

r 0 (0) = h 1 ; 1 ; 1 i

r 00 (0) = h 0 ; 2 ; 0 i

jr 0 (0)j =

p

  1. Match the equations given in añe with the pictures. (Write each parametric formula

next to the graph that is described by the formula.)

(a) r(u; v) = hu 2

  • 1; v 3
  • 1; u + vi, 1  u  1 , 1  v  1

(b) r(u; v) = hu + v; u^2 ; v^2 i, 1  u  1 , 1  v  1

(c) r(u; v) = h2 sin (u) ; 3 cos (u) ; vi, 0  u  2 , 1  v  1

(d) r(u; v) = hu^3 ; u sin (v) ; u cos (v)i, 1  u  1 , 0  v  2 

(e) r(u; v) = h(1 cos (u)) sin (v) ; u; (u sin (u)) cos (v)i, 0  u  2 , 0  v  2 

r(u; v) = hu^3 ; u sin (v) ; u cos (v)i

r(u; v) = hu^2 + 1; v^3 + 1; u + vi

r(u; v) = h2 sin (u) ; 3 cos (u) ; vi
