An object moves in a coordinate system with velocity vector v(t) = < sqrt(1+2t), tcos(?t), tsin(?t) > for t >= 0.
?=pi
a. Find the equation of the tangent line to the objects path when it reached the origin.
b. When the object reached the origin, with what angle did it strike the xy-plane?
c. Give the (unit) tangent, (unit) normal, and binormal directions for the object when it hits the xy-plane.
d. Give a vector-valued function describing the objects acceleration when it hits the xy-plane.
e. Give the tangential and normal components of the acceleration when it hits the xy-plane.
