If two objects travel through space along two different curves, it's often important to know whether they will collide. (Will a

missile hit its moving target? Will two aircraft collide?) The curves might intersect, but we need to know whether the objects are in the same position at the same time. Suppose the trajectories of two particles are given by the vector functions for t 0. Do the particles collide? If they collide find t. If not enter NONE.r1(t)=r2(t)=<9t-14,t^2,13t-42>t=

Answer:

The particles collide when t = 7 at the point (49, 49, 49).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the trajectories of the two particles,

r_1(t)=\langle t^2,16t-63,t^2\rangle\\r_2(t)=\langle 9t-14,t^2,13t-42\rangle

To find if the tow particles collide you must:

  • Equate the x-components for each particle and solve for t

t^2=9t-14\\t^2-9t+14=0\\\left(t^2-2t\right)+\left(-7t+14\right)=0\\t\left(t-2\right)-7\left(t-2\right)=0\\\left(t-2\right)\left(t-7\right)=0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

t=2,\:t=7

  • Equate the y-components for each particle and solve for t

16t-63=t^2\\^2-16t+63=0\\\left(t^2-7t\right)+\left(-9t+63\right)=0\\t\left(t-7\right)-9\left(t-7\right)=0\\\left(t-7\right)\left(t-9\right)=0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

t=7,\:t=9

  • Equate the z-components for each particle and solve for t

t^2=13t-42\\t^2-13t+42=0\\\left(t^2-6t\right)+\left(-7t+42\right)=0\\t\left(t-6\right)-7\left(t-6\right)=0\\\left(t-6\right)\left(t-7\right)=0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

t=6,\:t=7

Evaluate the position vectors at the common time. The common solution is when t = 7.

r_1(7)=\langle 7^2,16(7)-63,7^2\rangle=\langle 49,49,49\rangle\\\\r_2(7)=\langle 9(7)-14,7^2,13(7)-42\rangle=\langle 49,49,49\rangle

For two particles to collide, they must be at exactly the same coordinates at exactly the same time.

The particles collide when t = 7 at the point (49, 49, 49).

If you were to graph 1.14, 1.15, and 0.5. what would you count by on your number line?
GREYUIT [131]

If you want to include 0, the overall interval is 115 times 0.01, or 23 times 0.05 or 11.5 times 0.10. The latter might make it harder to plot 1.14, so I'd probably use an interval of 0.05.

Between 6 or 7 and about 25 intervals on a graph's scale are about right. More makes it pretty busy and sometimes difficult to tell which mark is associated with the number. A fewer number is indicated only if there are a fewer number of discrete values that need to be shown to adequately identify the data points.
