In Exercises 1–10, the position vector r describes the path of an object moving in the xy-plane. Sketch a graph of the path and sketch the velocity and acceleration vectors at the given point. Position Function Point \(\mathbf{r}(t)=3 t \mathbf{i}+(t-1) \mathbf{j}\) (3,0) Text Transcription: r(t)=3 t i+(t-1) j

Question
Cycloidal Motion In Exercises 47 and 48, consider the motion of a point (or particle) on the circumference of a rolling circle. As the circle rolls, it generates the cycloid \(\mathbf{r}(t)=b(\omega t-\sin \omega t) \mathbf{i}+b(1-\cos \omega t) \mathbf{j}\) where \(\omega\) is the constant angular velocity of the circle and b is the radius of the circle.
Find the maximum speed of a point on the circumference of an automobile tire of radius 1 foot when the automobile is traveling at 60 miles per hour. Compare this speed with the speed of the automobile.
Text Transcription:
r(t)=b(omega t-sin omega t) i+b(1-cos omega t) j
