Given: The position of the particle is given by the parametric equations, x=sin⁡t,y=cos⁡t Calculation: The parametric equations contain more than just shape of the curve. They also represents the direction of curve as traveling. If a position of a particle is determined by the equations x=sin⁡t, y=cos⁡t, this set of equations denotes which direction the particle is traveling based on different times r. For example, at=0 the particle is at the point (0, 1) but at time t=π2 the particle has moved to the point (1, 0) in a clockwise direction. As the period of the parametric equations is 2π, to find for the particle to travel a full rotation around the circle, it will take the time t=2π to traverse the circle in a clockwise direction. To travel the circle twice as fast simply double the coefficient inside each trigonometric function and the parametric equations are x=sin⁡2t,y=cos⁡2t. Conclusion: Hence, the time that will be taken by the particle to go once around the circle is t=2π and the parametric equations, the particle moves twice as fast around the circle are x=sin⁡2t,y=cos⁡2t.
