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.
Let \(D\) be a solid heat-conducting cube formed by the planes \(x=0, x=1, y=0, y=1, z=0,\) and \(z=1 .\) The heat flow at every point of \(D\) is given by the constant vector \(\mathbf{Q}=\langle 0,2,1\rangle\) a. Through which faces of \(D\) does \(Q\) point into \(D ?\) b. Through which faces of \(D\) does \(\mathbf{Q}\) point out of \(D ?\) c. On which faces of \(D\) is \(Q\) tangential to \(D\) (pointing neither in nor out of \(D\) )? d. Find the scalar component of \(\mathbf{Q}\) normal to the face \(x=0\). e. Find the scalar component of \(\mathbf{Q}\) normal to the face \(z=1\). f. Find the scalar component of \(\mathbf{Q}\) normal to the face \(y=0\).
a. Show that \((\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}) \cdot(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})=|\mathbf{u}|^{2}+2 \mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}+|\mathbf{v}|^{2}\). b. Show that \((\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}) \cdot(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})=|\mathbf{u}|^{2}+|\mathbf{v}|^{2}\) if \(\mathbf{u}\) is perpendicular to \(\mathbf{v}\). c. Show that \((\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}) \cdot(\mathbf{u}-\mathbf{v})=|\mathbf{u}|^{2}-|\mathbf{v}|^{2}\).
Carry out the following steps to determine the (smallest) distance between the point \(P\) and the line \(\ell\) through the origin. a. Find any vector \(\mathbf{v}\) in the direction of \(\ell\) b. Find the position vector u corresponding to \(P\). c. Find \(\operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{v}} \mathbf{u}\). d. Show that \(\mathbf{w}=\mathbf{u}-\) projy \(\mathbf{u}\) is a vector orthogonal to \(\mathbf{v}\) whose length is the distance between \(P\) and the line \(\ell\) e. Find \(\mathbf{w}\) and \(|\mathbf{w}| .\) Explain why \(|\mathbf{w}|\) is the distance between \(P\) and \(\ell\). \(P(1,1,-1) ; \ell\) has the direction of $$\langle-6,8,3\rangle$$.
Prove the following identities. Assume that \(\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{w}\) and \(\mathbf{x}\) are nonzero vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\). $$(\mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v}) \cdot(\mathbf{w} \times \mathbf{x})=(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{w})(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{x})-(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{x})(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w})$$
