is parameterized in terms of arc length, starting from the point . What is ?
Problem 3
A curve is reparameterized in terms of arc length as . Of the following options, which best describes the relationship between the vectors and , where ?
You may assume and exist and are nonzero for all .
- [x] A. They Are Parallel and point in the Same Direction
- [ ] B. They Are Parallel and point in opposite Directions
- [ ] C. They Are Perpendicular
- [ ] D. They Have the Same Magnitude
- [ ] E. They Are Equal
They both represent the same curves just at different rates.
