The component of a (clockwise) semicircle and circle with radius 2 are the same, (2cos(t),2sin(t)). Is this because the semicircle is only defined in 0<= y <=2?

It will be on a limited range of t, not necessarily starting at 0. Any arc of the circle can be specified with a limited range.

oh ok, so the range would be 0<= t <= pi/2, right?

No. t would need to vary by more than that. Can you see why?

would that range only define a half of the semicircle, i.e. top right of the circle that is centred around the origin?
