❖ Unit Tangent Vector at a Given Point ❖

Показать описание

In this video, we explore how to find a unit tangent vector for a space curve at a specific value of
t!

🌐✏️ While the concept of a tangent vector is similar in 3D as it is in 2D, the calculations can be a bit more complex.

I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to determine the unit tangent vector, ensuring that it has a magnitude of 1. This is a fundamental concept in vector calculus, essential for understanding motion along curves.

What You’ll Learn:

The definition of a unit tangent vector
How to compute the tangent vector for space curves
Steps to normalize the tangent vector to ensure a magnitude of 1
Real-world applications of unit tangent vectors in physics and engineering

i don't understand why students typically must pay $200 for a book with fine print technical detail on the subject when we can just watch this for free and get a more simplified understanding

schrodingerscat

youre better at simplifying math than any teacher professor/ i've ever had

stevenpozz

can you find the normal unit vectors n (t) as well?

gideonchiu

I'm having difficulties with space curves in terms of drawing their graphs. Do you happen to have any videos pertaining to that? And I've been watching your videos since I took Calc 1! You saved my life numerous times! Thanks!

Thanks Pat! I've been banging my head against the wall for the last 30 mins trying to figure out the denominator of T(x). I interpreted the magnitude bars/symbols as absolute value and nowhere in my book do they explain dividing by the magnitude. Of course now that I know it is the magnitude it becomes simple. Arrrgh, just a few words of text could have saved me all this time! :)

what do we do if the point is something like p(1, 1, 0)

partickJMT saving my ass since I started college!
I appreciate all of your help!
Have a great day! :D

Thank you for this video
Really helpful ❤️

What would my life be without Thank you for making these

What if t is not given? How would we find t? Algebraically?

Divinewayz

Thanks a lot for your effort, guidance and passion - these videos are greatly appreciated.

vlinder

thanks a lot sir, for ur wonderful lecture series, HATTS OFF!!

mikec95616 By definition, the derivative of ln(t) is 1/t. 2 is just a constant multiplier that we can carry through leaving 2/t. Cheers.

SDEngr

What about finding the curvature such as "k"? I am having difficulties understanding how they found the derivative of T(t) because it makes no sense.

oTarrello

can anyone explain to me what a unit tangent vector is supposed to be? because right now I'm am think about triangles and the tangent of a triangle and that init tangent vectors are the same thing except with vectors

mfafahim

Thanks. I skipped like 3 lectures and didn't know what the f was going on when the tutorial assignment classes came along so I immediately tried to look up this vid since its the exact same question. Cheers man

dynamitereborn

What if I'm supposed to find multiple tangent vectors but there is only 1 t value that works for both of my parametric equations?

stev

What if T was not given? Should we just simply as much as possible?

henrycruz

Good and better is the end summary. Few tutors do it. Thanks!

siphilipe

This question doesn't relate to this problem but why magnitude of the unit tangent vector is 1? Is it always 1? Thank you :')
