Warm Up In your new job for the Gearing, Engineering, Evaluation, and Kinematics team, aka the GEEK team, you must analyze movements of battle robots that will be competing next month. Your robot is placed in a 100-by-100- ft arena. Its initial position is 2.5 feet from the south wall of the arena and 5 feet from the west wall. After starting the robot with your remote, it moved for 1 second. Its new position is 14.5 feet from the south wall and 10 feet from the west wall. Another member of the GEEK team started her robot 75 feet from the west wall of the arena just against the south wall. After 1 second, her robot was 62 feet from the west wall and 16 feet from the south wall. Answer the following questions. Assume that both robots continue at the same speed and on the same path. a. Sketch the paths of the robots. Write the linear equations to represent their paths. b. Where do their paths cross? c. Find the speed in feet per second that both robots are moving. d. Write parametric equations for both robots. e. How long does it take each robot to get to the point where their paths cross?

Calculator Active There is a new superhero and her name is SuperSigma. Only she is not so super! SuperSigma is super drunk (on coca-cola, of course) and she’s flying in circles. The radius of her flight path is 5 feet and it takes her 30 seconds to stumble (fly) around the circle once. Her flight path has been graphed so that the center of the circle is (5, 0). If she starts her flight at (0, 0) and flies in a counter-clockwise direction, write parametric equations to model SuperSigma’s location in terms of the number of seconds she has been flying.

Non-Calculator Identify whether the vectors are orthogonal, parallel or neither. a)u = 3i – 2j, v = -4i + 6j b)u = i – 2j, v = -2i + 4j c) u = – 2j, v = -4i d) u = ½ i – ¾ j, v = 18i + 12

Calculator Active 1.At a softball throwing contest, you have to throw the ball at least 100 feet in order to make it into the semi-final round. You throw a softball with an initial velocity of 60 feet per second and a 50° angle with the ground from an initial height of 5.5 feet. Did you make it into the semi- final round? If not, adjust the angle in order to make it into the semi-finals. If so, you move on to the final round where you have to throw the softball at least 150 feet, so adjust the initial velocity to make it into the final round.

Calculator Active Your neighbor is studying the migration of a certain gaggle of geese. Because of your awesome math skills, he has asked for your help. You have laid out a topological map to indicate the movement of the geese over time with your house corresponding to the point (0,0) on the grid. The geese start their migration at the point (420mm, 30mm) on the grid and move in a linear path to a location 0.8 mm west and 0.2 mm north every minute. 1.Write parametric equations to represent the movement of the geese. 2.There is a small pond located on the grid at the point (230, 75). Will the geese fly over the pond? If yes, when?

Calculator Active As your neighbor observes the gaggle of geese, a flock of seagulls appear to be headed straight toward the gaggle. The geese’s path can be modeled by x = 420 – 0.8t and y = t The flock’s path can be modeled by x = t and y = t Do the birds “collide”? If so, when? If not, what is the minimum distance between them?
