Kalkulator Vektor Singgung Satuan
Kalkulator ini mencari T(t) = r′(t)/|r′(t)| untuk kurva r(t) = ⟨x(t), y(t), z(t)⟩ yang komponennya polinomial dalam t. Ia menurunkan setiap komponen, mencari panjang r′(t), dan memberi T secara tepat pada nilai t yang Anda pilih — misalnya ⟨1/3, 2/3, 2/3⟩ — dengan desimal bila muncul bentuk akar.

Rumus
Divide the velocity vector by its length so the result has length 1.
The length (speed) of r′(t).
Cara menggunakan kalkulator ini
- Choose a 2D or 3D curve.
- Type each component as a polynomial in t, such as t, t^2 and 2t^3/3.
- Enter the value of t and press Calculate: you get T at that point, the speed |r′(t)|, and the general formula for T(t).
Contoh soal
Easy: a 2D curve at t = 0
r′(t) = ⟨3, 4 − 2t⟩, so r′(0) = ⟨3, 4⟩.
|r′(0)| = √(9 + 16) = 5.
T(0) = ⟨3, 4⟩/5 = ⟨3/5, 4/5⟩.
Medium: a 3D curve with a whole-number speed
r′(t) = ⟨1, 2t, 2t²⟩, so r′(1) = ⟨1, 2, 2⟩.
|r′(1)| = √(1 + 4 + 4) = 3.
T(1) = ⟨1/3, 2/3, 2/3⟩.
Hard: a surd in the length
r′(t) = ⟨2t, 3t²⟩, so r′(1) = ⟨2, 3⟩.
|r′(1)| = √(4 + 9) = √13.
T(1) = ⟨2/√13, 3/√13⟩ = ⟨(2√13)/13, (3√13)/13⟩ ≈ ⟨0.5547, 0.8321⟩.
Kesalahan umum
- Dividing r(t) by its length instead of r′(t): the tangent comes from the derivative.
- Forgetting to square each component before adding under the square root.
- Trying to find T where r′(t) = 0: the curve has no defined direction there.
- Leaving out the z-component of a 3D curve when finding the length.
Pertanyaan umum
What is the unit tangent vector?
T(t) is the direction of motion along a curve r(t), scaled to length 1: T(t) = r′(t)/|r′(t)|. It points the way the curve is heading at each t.
How do you find the unit tangent vector at a point?
Differentiate each component to get r′(t), substitute the value of t, find the length of that vector, and divide each component by the length.
Can I enter sin t or e^t?
Not yet — each component must be a polynomial in t, such as 3t^2 - t + 1. The answer is then exact.
How is the answer checked?
The calculator squares the components of T and adds them: the total must be exactly 1.
