A pair of lines in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) are said to be skew if they are neither parallel nor intersecting. Determine whether the following pairs of lines are parallel, intersecting, or skew. If the lines intersect. determine the point(s) of intersection. $$\begin{aligned} &\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle 3+4 t, 1-6 t, 4 t\rangle;\\\ &\mathbf{R}(s)=\langle-2 s, 5+3 s, 4-2 s\rangle \end{aligned}$$
Prove that for integers \(m\) and \(n\), the curve $$\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle a \sin m t \cos n t, b \sin m t \sin n t, c \cos m t\rangle$$ lies on the surface of a sphere provided \(a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\).
Trajectory with a sloped landing Assume an object is launched from the origin with an initial speed \(\left|\mathbf{v}_{0}\right|\) at an angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal, where \(0 < \alpha < \frac{\pi}{2}\) a. Find the time of flight, range, and maximum height (relative to the launch point) of the trajectory if the ground slopes downward at a constant angle of \(\theta\) from the launch site, where \(0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}\) b. Find the time of flight, range, and maximum height of the trajectory if the ground slopes upward at a constant angle of \(\theta\) from the launch site.
An object moves clockwise around a circle centered at the origin with radius \(5 \mathrm{m}\) beginning at the point (0,5) a. Find a position function \(\mathbf{r}\) that describes the motion if the object moves with a constant speed, completing 1 lap every 12 s. b. Find a position function \(\mathbf{r}\) that describes the motion if it occurs with speed \(e^{-t}\)
Consider the trajectory given by the position function $$\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle 50 e^{-t} \cos t, 50 e^{-t} \sin t, 5\left(1-e^{-t}\right)\right), \quad \text { for } t \geq 0$$ a. Find the initial point \((t=0)\) and the "terminal" point \(\left(\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} \mathbf{r}(t)\right)\) of the trajectory. b. At what point on the trajectory is the speed the greatest? c. Graph the trajectory.
