Step 1
1 of 4If and are twice-differentiable functions of and is a vector-valued function given by , then the velocity vector at time is:
The acceleration vector at time is defined as:
and the speed at time is defined as the magnitude of the velocity vector :
Step 1
1 of 2
For velocity, take the first derivative of each component of r(t). For speed, take the magnitude of the velocity vector. For acceleration, take the derivative of each component of v(t).
