KXEX 2245 Session 2014/15, Semester III

Assignment

1. A particle moves in space so that at time t its position is stated as = 2 + 3, =

2 + 3, = 3 + 2 2 . Find its velocity and acceleration at the time t = 1.

2. Determine the unit tangent vector for the curve = 3; = 2 2 ; = 2 + at the

point (6, 8, 6).

3. Show that (, , ) = + + is a conservative vector field. Then, find

the scalar potential (x,y,z) so that = .

Please submit the assignment by 12pm 27th July 2015.
