Short Answer

Complete the following definition: If r(t) = x(t), y(t), z(t) is a twice-differentiableposition function, then the acceleration vector a(t) is . . ..

If r(t)=x(t), y(t), z(t) is a twice differentiable position function. Then, a(t) = x''(t), y''(t), z''(t)

Step 1. Given information is:

r(t)=x(t), y(t), z(t) be a twice differentiable position function.

Step 2. Acceleration Vector

Let c be the curve defined by r(t)=x(t), y(t), z(t), which is a twice differentiableposition function on the interval I⊂R. Then the acceleration vector is given by:a(t) = r''(t) a(t) = v'(t) =x''(t), y''(t), z''(t)Thus, a(t) = x''(t), y''(t), z''(t)

If α, β, and γ are nonzero constants, the graph of a vector function of the form role="math" localid="1649577570077" rt=αt,βt2,γt3 is called a twisted cubic. Prove that a twisted cubic intersects any plane in at most three points.

Let r(t) be a vector-valued function whose graph is a curve C, and let a(t) be the acceleration vector. Prove that if a(t) is always zero, then C is a straight line.

Given a twice-differentiable vector-valued function r(t), why does the principal unit normal vector N(t) point into the curve?

Complete the following definition: If r(t) = x(t), y(t), z(t) is a differentiableposition function, then the velocity vector v(t) is . . ..

Every description of the DNA molecule says that the strands of the helices run in opposite directions. This is meant as a statement about chemistry, not about the geometric shape of the double helix. Consider two helices

h1(t)=⟨cos⁡t,sin⁡t,αt⟩ and h2(t)=⟨sin⁡t,cos⁡t,αt⟩

(a) Sketch these two helices in the same coordinate system, and show that they run geometrically in different directions.

(b) Explain why it is impossible for these two helices to fail to intersect, and hence why they could not form a configuration for DNA.
