A golfer launches a tee shot down a horizontal fairway; it follows a path given by \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle a t,(75-0.1 a) t,-5 t^{2}+80 t\right\rangle,\) where \(t \geq 0\) measures time in seconds and \(\mathbf{r}\) has units of feet. The \(y\) -axis points straight down the fairway and the \(z\) -axis points vertically upward. The parameter \(a\) is the slice factor that determines how much the shot deviates from a straight path down the fairway. a. With no slice \((a=0),\) sketch and describe the shot. How far does the ball travel horizontally (the distance between the point the ball leaves the ground and the point where it first strikes the ground)? b. With a slice \((a=0.2),\) sketch and describe the shot. How far does the ball travel horizontally? c. How far does the ball travel horizontally with \(a=2.5 ?\)
Find the following vectors. The position vector for your final location if you start at the origin and walk along (4,-6) followed by \langle 5,9\rangle
Compute the following derivatives. $$\frac{d}{d t}\left(\left(3 t^{2} \mathbf{i}+\sqrt{t} \mathbf{j}-2 t^{-1} \mathbf{k}\right) \cdot(\cos t \mathbf{i}+\sin 2 t \mathbf{j}-3 t \mathbf{k})\right)$$
Hexagonal circle packing The German mathematician Gauss proved that the densest way to pack circles with the same radius in the plane is to place the centers of the circles on a hexagonal grid (see figure). Some molecular structures use this packing or its three-dimensional analog. Assume all circles have a radius of 1 and let \(\mathbf{r}_{i j}\) be the vector that extends from the center of circle \(i\) to the center of circle \(j,\) for \(i, j=0,1, \ldots, 6\) a. Find \(\mathbf{r}_{0 j},\) for \(j=1,2, \ldots, 6\) b. Find \(\mathbf{r}_{12}, \mathbf{r}_{34},\) and \(\mathbf{r}_{61}\) c. Imagine circle 7 is added to the arrangement as shown in the figure. Find \(\mathbf{r}_{07}, \mathbf{r}_{17}, \mathbf{r}_{47},\) and \(\mathbf{r}_{75}\)
Show that the (least) distance \(d\) between a point \(Q\) and a line \(\mathbf{r}=\mathbf{r}_{0}+t \mathbf{v}\) (both in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) ) is \(d=\frac{|\overrightarrow{P Q} \times \mathbf{v}|}{|\mathbf{v}|},\) where \(P\) is a point on the line.
