Consider a particle moving on a circular path of radius \(b\) described by $$ \begin{aligned} &\mathbf{r}(t)=b \cos \omega t \mathbf{i}+b \sin \omega t \mathbf{j}\\\ &\text { where } \omega=d \theta / d t \text { is the constant angular velocity. } \end{aligned} $$ Find the acceleration vector and show that its direction is always toward the center of the circle.
Use the model for projectile motion, assuming there is no air resistance. Find the angle at which an object must be thrown to obtain (a) the maximum range and (b) the maximum height.
Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. Prove that the vector \(\mathbf{T}^{\prime}(t)\) is \(\mathbf{0}\) for an object moving in a straight line.
Use the model for projectile motion, assuming there is no air resistance. \([a(t)=-9.8\) meters per second per second \(]\) Determine the maximum height and range of a projectile fired at a height of 1.5 meters above the ground with an initial velocity of 100 meters per second and at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) above the horizontal.
In Exercises 59-66, prove the property. In each case, assume that \(\mathbf{r}, \mathbf{u},\) and \(\mathbf{v}\) are differentiable vector-valued functions of \(t,\) \(f\) is a differentiable real-valued function of \(t,\) and \(c\) is a scalar. $$ D_{t}[c \mathbf{r}(t)]=c \mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t) $$
