Textbook Problem

If two objects travel through space along two different curves, it’s often important to know whether they will collide. (Will a missile hit its moving target? Will two aircraft collide?) The curves might intersect, but we need to know whether the objects are in the same position at the same time. Suppose the trajectories of two particles are given by the vector functions

r1(t) = ⟨t2,7t − 12, t2⟩

r2(t) = ⟨4t − 3, t2, 5t − 6⟩

for t ≥ 0. Do the particles collide?

To determine

To find: Whether the vector functions of particles collide.

Explanation

Given:

The vector functions of trajectories of two particles are r1(t)=〈t2,7t−12,t2〉 and r2(t)=〈4t−3,t2,5t−6〉 .

Equate the components of vector equations of two trajectories and find the value of parameter t. If the determined value of t satisfies all the equated expressions, then the trajectories collide at that point.

Equate the two trajectories of two particles.

r1(t)=r2(t)

Substitute 〈t2,7t−12,t2〉 for r1(t) and 〈4t−3,t2,5t−6〉 for r2(t) ,

〈t2,7t−12,t2〉=〈4t−3,t2,5t−6〉

Equate each component.

t2=4t−3

t2−4t+3=0 (1)

7t−12=t2

t2−7t+12=0 (2)

t2=5t−6

t2−5t+6=0 (3)

Solve equation (1) as follows

t2−3t−t+3=0t(t−3)−1(t−3)=0(t−1)(t−3)=0t=1 (or) 3

Therefore, the value of t is either 1 or 3
