Study Notes
Vector Equations of a Particle
- Particle moves along a curve defined by ( x = t^2 ), ( y = -t^3 ), ( z = t^4 ).
- Position vector is represented as ( \mathbf{r}(t) = t^2 \hat{i} - t^3 \hat{j} + t^4 \hat{k} ).
Velocity and Acceleration
- Velocity ( \mathbf{v} ) is calculated as ( \frac{d\mathbf{r}}{dt} = 2t \hat{i} - 3t^2 \hat{j} + 4t^3 \hat{k} ).
- Acceleration ( \mathbf{a} ) is calculated as ( \frac{d\mathbf{v}}{dt} = 2 \hat{i} - 6t \hat{j} + 12t^2 \hat{k} ).
- At ( t = 1 ), ( \mathbf{v} = 2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k} ) and ( \mathbf{a} = 2 \hat{i} - 6 \hat{j} + 12 \hat{k} ).
Example of a Moving Particle
- A particle moves with ( x = e^{-t} ), ( y = 2 \cos(3t) ), ( z = 2 \sin(3t) ).
- Requires finding velocity and acceleration at any time.
- Velocity and acceleration depend on differentiating the position equations.
Gradient of a Function
- The gradient ( \nabla \phi ) of a function ( \phi = xyz ) includes derivatives with respect to ( x ), ( y ), and ( z ).
- At the point ( (1, -1, 2) ), the gradient is ( -2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} - \hat{k} ).
Magnitude of Gradient
- For ( \phi = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2xyz ), the gradient is ( \nabla \phi = (2x + 2yz, 2y + 2xz, 2z + 2xy) ).
- At ( (2, -1, 1) ), the gradient evaluates to ( 2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k} ).
- Magnitude is calculated as ( |\nabla \phi| = \sqrt{2^2 + 2^2 + (-2)^2} = 2\sqrt{3} ).
Divergence and Curl
- Given ( \phi = 2x^3 y^2 z^4 ), the vector field ( \mathbf{F} = \nabla \phi ) involves partial derivatives.
- Divergence ( \text{div} \mathbf{F} ) and curl ( \text{curl} \mathbf{F} ) are also calculated at the point ( (1, -1, 1) ).
- ( \text{div} \mathbf{F} = 40 ) and ( \text{curl} \mathbf{F} = \mathbf{0} ).
Line Integral
- Line integral of vector field ( \mathbf{F} ) along curve ( C ) defined parametrically involves the differential ( d\mathbf{r} ).
- Example illustrates how to compute ( \int_C \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{r} ).
Work Done in a Force Field
- Work done to move a particle along a defined path ( C ) in a force field ( \mathbf{F} ) is given by the line integral.
- Sample calculation shows the process of applying the definitions and evaluating ( \int_C \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{r} ).
- Required work done in moving a particle once around a circle with radius 3 is ( 18\pi ) units.
