Motion in Space: Velocity and Acceleration

The motion of an object in space, such as a drone flying through the air, can be described mathematically using a position vector, denoted r(t), which specifies the object's location at any given time t. Analyzing the motion of the drone involves examining how this position vector changes over time.

The motion of a drone in flight can be described by a vector-valued function r(t).

For each time t, r(t) gives the position vector of the drone.

To analyze its movement, observe how the position vector changes over time.

The average velocity is found by dividing the change ...
