The animations in the applet below allow you to see what that curvilinear motion actually looks like in each of the examples we met above. We assume that the line is a horizontal number line with the origin in a fixed position, although, in some situations, the line is more naturally placed vertically.
A common use of vectorvalued functions is to describe the motion of an object in the plane or in space. Do partial differentiation and study applications such as tangent planes.
