Parametric Motion and Arc Length
A student studies a particle’s motion along a circle given by , for , whose arc length is . What would happen if the particle’s speed is doubled by defining and ; how does this affect the total arc length traced over the same time interval?
A
The total arc length is halved due to the faster traversal.
B
The total arc length triples, indicating an increased travel distance.
C
The total arc length becomes , as the particle completes two circuits over the interval.
D
The total arc length remains , since the geometric circle is unchanged.
