Exercises 12.3

1.

Velocity is a vector, indicating an objects direction of travel and its rate of distance change (i.e., its speed). Speed is a scalar.
3.

The average velocity is found by dividing the displacement by the time traveled — it is a vector. The average speed is found by dividing the distance traveled by the time traveled — it is a scalar.
5.

One example is traveling at a constant speed $s$ in a circle, ending at the starting position. Since the displacement is $\vec{0}$ , the average velocity is $\vec{0}$ , hence $\left\lVert\vec{0}\right\rVert=0$ . But traveling at constant speed $s$ means the average speed is also $s>0$ .

21.

Displacement: $\left\langle 0,0,6\pi\right\rangle$ ; distance traveled: $2\sqrt{13}\pi\approx 22.65$ ft; average velocity: $\left\langle 0,0,3\right\rangle$ ; average speed: $\sqrt{13}\approx 3.61$ ft/s

(a) Holding the crossbow at an angle of $0.013$ radians, $\approx 0.745^{\circ}$ will hit the target $0.4$ s later. (Another solution exists, with an angle of $89^{\circ}$ , landing $18.75$ s later, but this is impractical.) (b) In the .4 seconds the arrow travels, a deer, traveling at 20mph or 29.33ft/s, can travel 11.7ft. So she needs to lead the deer by 11.7ft.
41.

The position function is $\vec{r}(t)=\left\langle 220t,-16t^{2}+1000\right\rangle$ . The $y$ -component is 0 when $t=7.9$ ; $\vec{r}(7.9)=\left\langle 1739.25,0\right\rangle$ , meaning the box will travel about 1740ft horizontally before it lands.

$\vec{T}(t)=\frac{\cos t\sin t}{\sqrt{\cos^{2}t\sin^{2}t}}\left\langle-\cos t,% \sin t\right\rangle$ . (Be careful; this cannot be simplified as $\left\langle-\cos t,\sin t\right\rangle$ because $\sqrt{\cos^{2}t\sin^{2}t}\neq\cos t\sin t$ , but rather $\left\lvert\cos t\sin t\right\rvert$ .) $\vec{T}(\pi/4)=\left\langle-\sqrt{2}/2,\sqrt{2}/2\right\rangle$

$a_{\text{T}}=\frac{4t}{\sqrt{1+4t^{2}}}$ and $a_{\text{N}}=\sqrt{4-\frac{16t^{2}}{1+4t^{2}}}$ At $t=0$ , $a_{\text{T}}=0$ and $a_{\text{N}}=2$ ; At $t=1$ , $a_{\text{T}}=4/\sqrt{5}$ and $a_{\text{N}}=2/\sqrt{5}$ . At $t=0$ , all acceleration comes in the form of changing the direction of velocity and not the speed; at $t=1$ , more acceleration comes in changing the speed than in changing direction.
27.
$a_{\text{T}}=0$ and $a_{\text{N}}=2$ At $t=0$ , $a_{\text{T}}=0$ and $a_{\text{N}}=2$ ; At $t=\pi/2$ , $a_{\text{T}}=0$ and $a_{\text{N}}=2$ . The object moves at constant speed, so all acceleration comes from changing direction, hence $a_{\text{T}}=0$ . $\vec{a}(t)$ is always parallel to $\vec{N}(t)$ , but twice as long, hence $a_{\text{N}}=2$ .
29.
$a_{\text{T}}=0$ and $a_{\text{N}}=a$ At $t=0$ , $a_{\text{T}}=0$ and $a_{\text{N}}=a$ ; At $t=\pi/2$ , $a_{\text{T}}=0$ and $a_{\text{N}}=a$ . The object moves at constant speed, meaning that $a_{\text{T}}$ is always 0. The object “rises” along the $z$ -axis at a constant rate, so all acceleration comes in the form of changing direction circling the $z$ -axis. The greater the radius of this circle the greater the acceleration, hence $a_{\text{N}}=a$ .
