Curvature

For a smooth space curve, the curvature measures how fast the curve is bending or changing direction at a given point. Given a curve g(x) in red. Move the slider t slowly to view the curvature at P. v is a unit tangent vector of the curve at P. a. Describe the curve's behavior when curvature κ = 0. b. Describe the curve's behavior when |κ| is greatest. c. Describe the curve's behavior when κ < 0, κ > 0.
