Transcribed Image Text:Consider the motion along the straight line r(t) = (1, 2,7) + t(1,1,1). (a) What is the velocity and speed of r? Are they constant? (b) Does the motion s(t) = (2,3,8) + t³(1,1,1) go along the same straight line? (c) What is the velocity and speed of s? Are they constant?
Expert Solution
Step 1: Required:

Consider the motion along the straight line r(t) = <1,2,7> + t<1,1,1>.

(a) What is the velocity and speed of r? Are they constant? 

(b) Does the motion s(t) = <2,3,8> + t^3<1,1,1> go along the same straight line? 

(c) What is the velocity and speed of s? Are they constant?
