Explanation Acceleration vector a ( t ) can be decompose into tangential component (tangent to the path of motion) and normal component (perpendicular to the path of motion) as a ( t ) = a T T ( t ) + a N N ( t ) ------------------------(1) where unit tangent vector, T ( t ) = r ′ ( t ) ∥ r ′ ( t ) ∥ = v ∥ v ∥ and unit normal vector, N ( t ) = T ′ ( t ) ∥ T ′ ( t ) ∥ a T = a · T = a · v ∥ v ∥ a N = a · N = ∥ a × v ∥ ∥ v ∥ Given: Position vector r ( t ) = 〈 t 2 , 4 t − 3 〉 Formula used: Unit tangent vector, T ( t ) = r ′ ( t ) ∥ r ′ ( t ) ∥ = v ∥ v ∥ -----------------(2) Unit normal vector, N ( t ) = T ′ ( t ) ∥ T ′ ( t ) ∥ ------------------------(3) Decomposition of a ( t ) into tangential component T ( t ) is, a T = a · T = a · v ∥ v ∥ ----------------(4) Decomposition of a ( t ) into normal component N ( t ) is, a N = a · N = ∥ a × v ∥ ∥ v ∥ ---------------(5) Calculation: Since position vector r ( t ) = 〈 t 2 , 4 t − 3 〉 ----------------(6) Therefore, velocity, v ( t ) = r ′ ( t ) = 〈 2 t , − 4 〉 ------------(7) and acceleration, a ( t ) = v ′ ( t ) = r ″ ( t ) = 〈 2 , 0 〉 ---------(8) also, ∥ v ∥ = 4 t 2 + 16 = 2 t 2 + 4 --------------------------------------(9) Using equation (2), the unit tangential vector is, ...
