Question: ( a ) Given vectors = 4 i - 2 j + k and ? b a r ( b ) = 2 i +

(a) Given vectors =4i-2j+k and ?bar(b)=2i+5j+3k, calculate *bar(b).
(b) Given vectors =4i-2j+k and ?bar(b)=2i+5j+3k, calculate bar(b).
(c) Given vectors =i-tj and ?bar(b)=(t2+1)i+(t+7)j, for what values of t are and ?bar(b) perpendicular?
(d) For a triangle ABC with sides of length |AB|=c,|AC|=b and |BC|=a, and angle ??CAB=, use the scalar product to prove the cosine rule
a2=b2+c2-2bccos
(a) For a body moving in a straight line with uniform acceleration a, derive the following expressions (where v is velocity, u is initial velocity, t is time and s is displacement):
(i)v=u+at
(ii)s=ut+12at2
(iii)v2=u2+2as
(b) A rocket is launched vertically upwards from ground level with its thruster providing an acceleration of 3gms-2 for a period of twenty seconds. The thruster then shuts off, leaving the rocket solely under the effect of acceleration due to gravity gms-2.
(i) What is the maximum height reached by the rocket?
(ii) What is the elapsed time between launching the rocket and the rocket hitting the ground?
(a) A straight river flows at 4kmh and its width is 300 m . A rower can row a boat at 5kmh in still water.
(i) Find the direction in which the rower must row in order to go straight across.
(ii) Find the time takes them to cross.
(b) A child kicks a ball with velocity 5gh2 at an angle above the horizontal, aiming to hit a wall of height h at a distance 2h. The ball is affected by acceleration due to gravity (g), and is not affected by air resistance.
(i) Calculate the trajectory of the particle (i.e. the relationship between the height z of the projectile and the distance travelled x).
(ii) For what values of will the ball hit the top of the wall?
(iii) For what values of will the ball hit the base of the wall directly, without first bouncing off the ground?
(iv) For what values of will the ball hit the wall? Explain your answer.
