1. Part I
There are 6 problems in Part 1, each worth 4 points. Place your answer on the line to the
right of the question. Only your answer on the answer line will be graded.

(1) Find the cross product of the vectors h2, 2, 1i and h0, 1, 1i.

(2) Find the dot product of the vectors h1, −3, 1i and h−2, 1, 3i.

(3) Find the derivative of the vector function hcos(2t), sin(t), t2 i.

(4) Find the angle between the two vectors h1, 1i and h−1, 1i.

(5) Find a vector function representing the line segment passing through the points
P (2, 0, 3) and Q(0, 3, 2).

2. Part II
There are 3 problems in Part 2, each worth 12 points. On Part 2 problems partial credit
is awarded where appropriate. Your solution must include enough detail to justify any
conclusions you reach in answering the question.

tower.
(a) Find the vectors of acceleration, velocity, and position.
(b) What is the initial speed?
(c) Find the angle of the tangent at which the ball touches ground?
