Question:
a. If r(t) = (at, bt, ct) with (a, b, c) ≠ (0, 0, 0), show that the angle between r and r' is constant for all t > 0.
b. If r(t) = (x0 + at, y0 + bt, z0 + ct), where x0, y0, and z0 are not all zero, show that the angle between r and r' varies with t.
c. Explain the results of parts (a) and (b) geometrically.
