   May 28, 2023 · The velocity \(\vec{r}'(t)\) has dot product zero with \(\vec{r}(t) -h\,\hat{\pmb{\imath}}-k\,\hat{\pmb{\jmath}}\text{,}\) which is the radius vector from the centre of the circle to the particle. So the velocity is perpendicular to the radius vector, and hence parallel to the tangent vector of the circle at \(\vec{r}(t)\text{.}\)

   Nov 16, 2022 · Given the vector function, \(\vec r\left( t \right)\), we call \(\vec r'\left( t \right)\) the tangent vector provided it exists and provided \(\vec r'\left( t \right) \ne \vec 0\). The tangent line to \(\vec r\left( t \right)\) at \(P\) is then the line that passes through the point \(P\) and is parallel to the tangent vector, \(\vec r'\left ...

   Why is tangent a vector valued function?

   • This action is not available. The derivative of a vector valued function gives a new vector valued function that is tangent to the defined curve. The analog to the slope of the tangent line is the direction of the tangent line. Since a vector contains a magnitude and a direction, the velocity vector contains more information than we need.

   What is a unit tangent vector?

   • provided ∥r′(t)∥ ≠ 0. ‖ r ′ (t) ‖ ≠ 0. The unit tangent vector is exactly what it sounds like: a unit vector that is tangent to the curve. To calculate a unit tangent vector, first find the derivative r′(t) r ′ (t). Second, calculate the magnitude of the derivative. The third step is to divide the derivative by its magnitude.

   How do you calculate a tangent vector?

   • Algebraically we can compute the vector using the following definition. Let r (t) be a differentiable vector valued function and let T (t) be the unit tangent vector. Then the principal unit normal vector N (t) is defined by N(t) = T′(t) ||T′(t)||.

   What is a tangent vector r′(t)?

   • Let C be a curve defined by a vector-valued function ⇀ r, and assume that ⇀ r′ (t) exists when t = t0 A tangent vector ⇀ r at t = t0 is any vector such that, when the tail of the vector is placed at point ⇀ r(t0) on the graph, vector ⇀ r is tangent to curve C. Vector ⇀ r′ (t0) is an example of a tangent vector at point t = t0.

   What is a tangent derivative?

   • Recall from the Introduction to Derivatives that the derivative at a point can be interpreted as the slope of the tangent line to the graph at that point. In the case of a vector-valued function, the derivative provides a tangent vector to the curve represented by the function.
