13.4Motion in Space:
Velocity and Acceleration
In this section, we will learn about:
The motion of an object
using tangent and normal vectors.
VECTOR FUNCTIONS
![Page 3: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Here, we show how the ideas of tangent
and normal vectors and curvature can be
used in physics to study:
The motion of an object, including its velocity and acceleration, along a space curve.
MOTION IN SPACE: VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION
![Page 4: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
In particular, we follow in the footsteps of
Newton by using these methods to derive
Kepler’s First Law of planetary motion.
VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION
![Page 5: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Suppose a particle moves through
space so that its position vector at
time t is r(t).
VELOCITY
![Page 6: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Notice from the figure that, for small values
of h, the vector
approximates
the direction of the
particle moving along
the curve r(t).

Its magnitude measures the size
of the displacement vector per unit
time.
VELOCITY

The vector 1 gives the average
velocity over a time interval of
length h.

Thus, the velocity vector is also
the tangent vector and points in
the direction of the tangent line.
VELOCITY VECTOR
![Page 11: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The speed of the particle at time t
is the magnitude of the velocity vector,
that is, |v(t)|.
SPEED

This is appropriate because, from Equation 2
and from Equation 7 in Section 13.3,
we have:

As in the case of one-dimensional motion,
the acceleration of the particle is defined as
the derivative of the velocity:
a(t) = v’(t) = r”(t)
ACCELERATION
![Page 14: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The position vector of an object moving
in a plane is given by:
r(t) = t3 i + t2 j
Find its velocity, speed, and acceleration when t = 1 and illustrate geometrically.

The velocity and acceleration at time t
are:
v(t) = r’(t) = 3t2 i + 2t j
a(t) = r”(t) = 6t I + 2 j

These velocity and acceleration vectors
are shown here.

The figure shows the path of the particle in
Example 2 with the velocity and acceleration
vectors when t = 1.

![Page 22: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The vector integrals that were introduced in
Section 13.2 can be used to find position
vectors when velocity or acceleration vectors
are known, as in the next example.
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION
![Page 23: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A moving particle starts at an initial position
r(0) = ‹1, 0, 0›
with initial velocity
v(0) = i – j + k
Its acceleration is
a(t) = 4t i + 6t j + k
Find its velocity and position at time t.
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 3
![Page 24: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Since a(t) = v’(t), we have:
v(t) = ∫ a(t) dt
= ∫ (4t i + 6t j + k) dt
=2t2 i + 3t2 j + t k + C
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 3
![Page 25: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
To determine the value of the constant
vector C, we use the fact that
v(0) = i – j + k
The preceding equation gives v(0) = C. So,
C = i – j + k
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 3
![Page 26: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
It follows:
v(t) = 2t2 i + 3t2 j + t k + i – j + k
= (2t2 + 1) i + (3t2 – 1) j + (t + 1) k
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 3
![Page 27: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Since v(t) = r’(t), we have:
r(t) = ∫ v(t) dt
= ∫ [(2t2 + 1) i + (3t2 – 1) j + (t + 1) k] dt
= (⅔t3 + t) i + (t3 – t) j + (½t2 + t) k + D
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 3
![Page 28: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Putting t = 0, we find that D = r(0) = i.
So, the position at time t is given by:
r(t) = (⅔t3 + t + 1) i + (t3 – t) j + (½t2 + t) k
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 3
![Page 29: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The expression for r(t) that we obtained
in Example 3 was used to plot the path
of the particle here for 0 ≤ t ≤ 3.

In general, vector integrals allow us
to recover:

If the force that acts on a particle is known,
then the acceleration can be found from
Newton’s Second Law of Motion.
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION
![Page 32: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The vector version of this law states that if,
at any time t, a force F(t) acts on an object
of mass m producing an acceleration a(t),
then
F(t) = ma(t)
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION
![Page 33: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
An object with mass m that moves in
a circular path with constant angular speed ω
has position vector
r(t) = a cos ωt i + a sin ωt j
Find the force acting on the object and show that it is directed toward the origin.
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 4
![Page 34: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
To find the force, we first need to know
the acceleration:
v(t) = r’(t) = –aω sin ωt i + aω cos ωt j
a(t) = v’(t) = –aω2 cos ωt i – aω2 sin ωt j
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 4

Therefore, Newton’s Second Law gives
the force as:
F(t) = ma(t)
= –mω2 (a cos ωt i + a sin ωt j)
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 4
![Page 36: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Notice that:
F(t) = –mω2r(t)
This shows that the force acts in the direction opposite to the radius vector r(t).
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 4
![Page 37: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Therefore, it points toward
the origin.

Such a force is called a centripetal
(center-seeking) force.

A projectile is fired with:

Assuming that air resistance is negligible
and the only external force is due to gravity,
find the position function r(t) of the projectile.

What value of α maximizes the range
(the horizontal distance traveled)?

We set up the axes so that the projectile
starts at the origin.
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 5
![Page 43: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
As the force due to gravity acts downward,
we have:
F = ma = –mg j
where g = |a| ≈ 9.8 m/s2.
Therefore, a = –g j
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 5
![Page 44: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Since v(t) = a, we have:
v(t) = –gt j + C
where C = v(0) = v0.
Therefore, r’(t) = v(t) = –gt j + v0
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 5
![Page 45: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Integrating again, we obtain:
r(t) = –½ gt2 j + t v0 + D
However, D = r(0) = 0
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 5
![Page 46: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
So, the position vector of the projectile
is given by:
r(t) = –½gt2 j + t v0

![Page 47: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
If we write |v0| = v0 (the initial speed
of the projectile), then
v0 = v0 cos α i + v0 sin α j
Equation 3 becomes:
r(t) = (v0 cos α)t i + [(v0 sin α)t – ½gt2] j
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 5
![Page 48: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Therefore, the parametric equations
of the trajectory are:
x = (v0 cos α)t
y = (v0 sin α)t – ½gt2

![Page 49: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
If you eliminate t from Equations 4,
you will see that y is a quadratic function
of x.

So, the path of the projectile is part
of a parabola.
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 5
![Page 51: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The horizontal distance d is the value
of x when y = 0.
Setting y = 0, we obtain:
t = 0 or t = (2v0 sin α)/g
VELOCITY & ACCELERATION Example 5

That second value of t then gives:
Clearly, d has its maximum value when sin 2α = 1, that is, α = π/4.

A projectile is fired with muzzle speed 150 m/s
and angle of elevation 45° from a position
10 m above ground level.
Where does the projectile hit the ground?
With what speed does it do so?

If we place the origin at ground level,
the initial position of the projectile is (0, 10).
So, we need to adjust Equations 4 by adding 10 to the expression for y.

Impact occurs when y = 0, that is,
4.9t2 – 75 t – 10 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation (and using only the positive value of t), we get:

Then,
x ≈ 75 (21.74)
≈ 2306
So, the projectile hits the ground about 2,306 m away.

When we study the motion of a particle,
it is often useful to resolve the acceleration
into two components:
Tangential (in the direction of the tangent)
Normal (in the direction of the normal)

Writing aT and aN for the tangential and

we have

aT = v’ and aN = Kv2

This resolution is illustrated
here.

Let’s look at what Formula 7
says.

The first thing to notice is that
the binormal vector B is absent.
No matter how an object moves through space, its acceleration always lies in the plane of T and N (the osculating plane).
Recall that T gives the direction of motion and N points in the direction the curve is turning.
ACCELERATION—COMPONENTS

Next, we notice that:
The tangential component of acceleration is v’, the rate of change of speed.
The normal component of acceleration is ĸv2, the curvature times the square of the speed.

This makes sense if we think of
a passenger in a car.
A sharp turn in a road means a large value
of the curvature ĸ.
So, the component of the acceleration perpendicular to the motion is large and the passenger is thrown against a car door.

High speed around the turn has
the same effect.
In fact, if you double your speed, aN is increased by a factor of 4.

We have expressions for the tangential
and normal components of acceleration in
Equations 8.
However, it’s desirable to have expressions
that depend only on r, r’, and r”.

Thus, we take the dot product of v = vT
with a as given by Equation 7:
v · a = vT · (v’ T + ĸv2N)
= vv’ T · T + ĸv3T · N
= vv’ (Since T · T = 1 and T · N = 0)

We now describe one of the great
accomplishments of calculus by showing how
the material of this chapter can be used to
prove Kepler’s laws of planetary motion.
KEPLER’S LAWS OF PLANETARY MOTION
![Page 83: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
After 20 years of studying the astronomical
observations of the Danish astronomer
Tycho Brahe, the German mathematician and
astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571–1630)
formulated the following three laws.
KEPLER’S LAWS OF PLANETARY MOTION
![Page 84: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
A planet revolves around the sun
in an elliptical orbit with the sun at
one focus.
KEPLER’S FIRST LAW
![Page 85: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
The line joining the sun to
a planet sweeps out equal areas
in equal times.
KEPLER’S SECOND LAW
![Page 86: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
The square of the period of revolution
of a planet is proportional to the cube
of the length of the major axis of its orbit.
KEPLER’S THIRD LAW
![Page 87: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
In his book Principia Mathematica of 1687,
Sir Isaac Newton was able to show that
these three laws are consequences of
two of his own laws:
Second Law of Motion
Law of Universal Gravitation
KEPLER’S LAWS
![Page 88: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
In what follows, we prove Kepler’s
First Law.
The remaining laws are proved as exercises (with hints).
KEPLER’S FIRST LAW
![Page 89: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
The gravitational force of the sun on a planet
is so much larger than the forces exerted by
other celestial bodies.
Thus, we can safely ignore all bodies in the universe except the sun and one planet revolving about it.
KEPLER’S FIRST LAW—PROOF
![Page 90: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
We use a coordinate system with the sun
at the origin.
We let r = r(t) be the position vector
of the planet.

Equally well, r could be the position
vector of any of:
The moon
A satellite moving around the earth
A comet moving around a star

The acceleration vector is:

In the two laws,
F is the gravitational force on the planet
m and M are the masses of the planet and the sun
G is the gravitational constant
r = |r|
u = (1/r)r is the unit vector in the direction of r

First, we show that
the planet moves in
one plane.

By equating the expressions for F in
Newton’s two laws, we find that:
So, a is parallel to r.
It follows that r x a = 0.

Therefore,
r x v = h
where h is a constant vector.
We may assume that h ≠ 0; that is, r and v are not parallel.
KEPLER’S FIRST LAW—PROOF
![Page 99: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
This means that the vector r = r(t) is
perpendicular to h for all values of t.
So, the planet always lies in the plane through the origin perpendicular to h.
KEPLER’S FIRST LAW—PROOF
![Page 100: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Thus, the orbit of the planet is
a plane curve.

At this point, it is convenient to choose the
coordinate axes so that the standard basis
vector k points in the direction of the vector h.
Then, the planet moves in the xy-plane.
KEPLER’S FIRST LAW—PROOF
![Page 107: VECTOR FUNCTIONS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56815a9a550346895dc8183a/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
As both v x h and u are perpendicular
to h, Equation 11 shows that c lies in
the xy-plane.

the x- and y-axes so that the vector i
lies in the direction of c.

If θ is the angle between c and r,
then (r, θ) are polar coordinates of
