Let's unclick the path R (keeping curve C showing) and put in the origin
14
15
The "position" POINT P when t=(pi)/2, which is the head/end-point of the path (vector) when t = (pi)/2 ... think of this POINT P as the POINT on the curve when t = (pi)/2
16
17
Next let's think about the velocity vector when t = (pi)/2 .
18
The POINT that is the head/end of the velocity VECTOR when t = (pi)/2
19
20
Let's graph the VECTOR for the origin O to the point V
21
22
and "move" the vector OV as so it's initial/start point is P (rather than the origin O).
23
24
Unclick the gray V and vector(O,V).
25
Question: If the Grinch turns off the magnetic switch to the magnetized track when time t=(pi)/2, then in what direction will the puffo go?
26
All done .

Ignore this set-up folder (colors)
