How is the time derivative of \(\varphi_t\) written?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(\dot{\varphi}_t=\frac{d\varphi_t}{dt}\)

Explanation

The dot notation is the derivative with respect to \(t\), written as \(\frac{d\varphi_t}{dt}\). The other formulas invert the quotient or change the object.

Review the concept: Time derivative

The time derivative \(\dot{\varphi}_t\) describes how a deformation changes as the time parameter \(t\) varies.

\[\dot{\varphi}_t=\frac{d\varphi_t}{dt}\]
