A curve in the plane is described by the position vector r(t)=⟨t3, 3t2⟩\mathbf r(t)=\langle t^{3},\,3t^{2}\rangle for 0≤t≤10\le t\le 1. (a) Determine the exact length of the curve from t=0t=0 to t=1t=1. (b) Compute a three-decimal-place approximation of your answer in part (a) and interpret this value in the context of the particle’s motion.
