The correct Answer is:
To determine the value of \( t \) for which the position vector \( \vec{r} \) and the velocity vector \( \vec{v} \) are perpendicular, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Position Vector The position vector is given as: \[ \vec{r}(t) = \cos(t) \hat{i} + \sin(t) \hat{j} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Velocity Vector The velocity vector \( \vec{v}(t) \) is the derivative of the position vector with respect to time \( t \): \[ \vec{v}(t) = \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}[\cos(t) \hat{i} + \sin(t) \hat{j}] \] Using the derivatives of sine and cosine: \[ \frac{d}{dt}[\cos(t)] = -\sin(t) \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{d}{dt}[\sin(t)] = \cos(t) \] Thus, the velocity vector becomes: \[ \vec{v}(t) = -\sin(t) \hat{i} + \cos(t) \hat{j} \] ### Step 3: Check for Perpendicularity Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product is zero: \[ \vec{r}(t) \cdot \vec{v}(t) = 0 \] Calculating the dot product: \[ \vec{r}(t) \cdot \vec{v}(t) = (\cos(t) \hat{i} + \sin(t) \hat{j}) \cdot (-\sin(t) \hat{i} + \cos(t) \hat{j}) \] Expanding this: \[ = \cos(t)(-\sin(t)) + \sin(t)(\cos(t)) \] \[ = -\cos(t)\sin(t) + \sin(t)\cos(t) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Conclusion Since the dot product is zero for all values of \( t \), the position vector and the velocity vector are perpendicular for all values of \( t \). ### Final Answer The value of \( t \) for which the position vector and the velocity vector are perpendicular is: \[ \text{For all values of } t \] ---
