Question
Two particles travel along the space curves r1(t) and r2(t), where t is the time. r 1 (t) = t i + t 2 j
Two particles travel along the space curves r1(t) and r2(t), where t is the time.
r1(t) = ti + t2j + t3k
r2(t) = (-2t + 3)i + 8tj + (12t + 2)
A collision will occur at the point of the intersection P if both particles are there at the same time.
a. Do the particles collide?
b. Do their paths intersect?
