- An airplane took off from point (3, 0, 0) at an initial velocity, v(0)= 3j with an acceleration vector of a(t) = (-3 cos t)i + (-3 sin t)j + 2k. Determine the vector function, r(t), to represent the path of the airplane as a function of t.arrow_forward2) Consider the vector function r(t) = (sin(t), −3t, cos (t)). Analyze the function, then sketch a graph.arrow_forward
