Prove that the midpoint of the line segment joining \(P\left(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}\right)\) and \(Q\left(x_{2}, y_{2}, z_{2}\right)\) is $$\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}, \frac{z_{1}+z_{2}}{2}\right)$$
Graph the curve \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 t, \frac{1}{2}(1-\cos 2 t), \cos t\right\rangle\) and prove that it lies on the surface of a sphere centered at the origin.
Given a fixed vector \(\mathbf{v},\) there is an infinite set of vectors \(\mathbf{u}\) with the same value of proj\(_{\mathbf{v}} \mathbf{u}\). Let \(\mathbf{v}=\langle 0,0,1\rangle .\) Give a description of all position vectors \(\mathbf{u}\) such that \(\operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{v}} \mathbf{u}=\operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{v}}\langle 1,2,3\rangle\).
Derive the formulas for time of flight, range, and maximum height in the case that an object is launched from the initial position \(\left\langle 0, y_{0}\right\rangle\) with initial velocity \(\left|\mathbf{v}_{0}\right|\langle\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha\rangle\).
Determine the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the lines \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle-2+3 t, 2 t, 3 t\rangle\) and \(\mathbf{R}(s)=\langle-6+s,-8+2 s,-12+3 s\rangle\) and passes through the point of intersection of the lines \(\mathbf{r}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\).
