Bezier and Hermite curves do not have the local control property, moving a single control point changes the shape of the entire curve.

A particle has mass m = 2. Its current state is position x0 = 2 and velocity v0 = 1. The applied force at this instant is f = 18, and the timestep is h = 0.1. Explicit Euler update: x1 = x0 + h · v0 v1 = v0 + h · (f / m) What is the velocity v1 after one step? Enter a single number.

Which of the following is a solution to the ODE below? Assume k>0 x'(t) = -k · x(t)

When interpolating between two rotation matrices, linearly interpolating each matrix element independently always produces a valid (orthonormal) rotation matrix.
