for the parametric equations , the book says that (t) represents time on a curve in space. So what is that time unit ? for example it say that : X and Y on a rectangular equation shows just the location of a point on a curve and (t ) on a parametric helps to know the time from origin to the next set of points . what is that time ? if ( t) is one , is that one sec, one minute or what

The question usually states what measurement of time is being used.

I am not sure what your question is about because it is a little obtuse.
There is a field of study regarding Transient Conditions in various motions and activities.
It is Logarithmic in nature and follows the system of Naperian or also known as Natural Logs. Of course the X and Y are universal. They apply to the cross section of a circle composed of 360 Degrees.
If a unit is traveling in a cyclic fashion, it is going through four quadrants of the circle.
In Trigonometry, for each Quadrant the Sin, Cos, and Tangent have different Mathematical signs.
If you will write to me at Alblackhawk@sbcglobal.net
I will be happy to discuss it further with you. Write directly to me and I will send you pictures of curves that may be what you are looking for .
As an Example, In Electronics a Capacitor will become fully charged to any applied voltage after five time constants. For Electronics. T = RC. that gives a specific X and Y value on the curve. Hope I haven't confused you too much.

typically, it's 1 second.
