Question
### Problem Statement

Given the vector function \(\vec{r}(t) = \langle t, e^t, 10 \rangle\), find the tangential component of acceleration \(a_T\) when \(t = 7\).

---

### Solution

To find the tangential component of acceleration \(a_T\), we follow these steps:

1. **Compute the velocity vector \(\vec{v}(t)\):**
   \[
   \vec{v}(t) = \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt} = \left\langle \frac{d}{dt}(t), \frac{d}{dt}(e^t), \frac{d}{dt}(10) \right\rangle = \langle 1, e^t, 0 \rangle
   \]

2. **Compute the acceleration vector \(\vec{a}(t)\):**
   \[
   \vec{a}(t) = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = \left\langle \frac{d}{dt}(1), \frac{d}{dt}(e^t), \frac{d}{dt}(0) \right\rangle = \langle 0, e^t, 0 \rangle
   \]

3. **Find the magnitude of the velocity vector \(|\vec{v}(t)|\):**
   \[
   |\vec{v}(t)| = \sqrt{ (1)^2 + (e^t)^2 + (0)^2 } = \sqrt{1 + e^{2t}}
   \]

4. **Calculate the tangential component of acceleration \(a_T\):**
   \[
   a_T = \frac{\vec{v}(t) \cdot \vec{a}(t)}{|\vec{v}(t)|}
   \]

   Here, \(\vec{v}(t) \cdot \vec{a}(t)\) is the dot product of the velocity and acceleration vectors:
   \[
   \vec{v}(t) \cdot \vec{a}(t) = \langle 1, e^t, 0 \rangle \cdot \langle 0, e^t, 0 \rangle = 1 \cdot 0 + e^t \cdot
