Draw a right-handed 3D Cartesian coordinate system (= x, y and z axes). Show a vector A with
tail in the origin and sticking out in the positive x, y and z directions. Show the angles between A
and the positive x, y and z axes, and call these angles α₁, α₂ and α3
Prove that Ax Acos α₁

Draw a third quadrant vector C. (remember that boldface characters represent vector
quantities). Show the standard angle 0 for this vector (= angle that C makes with the positive x-
axis). Also show the angle that C makes with the negative y-axis: call the latter angle 8. Finally,
show the smallest angles that C makes with the positive x-axis and the positive y-axis: call these
angles p1 and p2, repectively.
a) Prove the following formulas for the components of C involving the standard angle (hint:
start with the formulas for the components based on the angle & and then use (look up if
necessary) co-function identities linking cosine and sine of 8 to sine and cosine of 0 since 8 =
3π/2-8 (this will switch cosine and sine around and eliminate - signs as well))

It's not on rollers, so there is a lot of friction. At time t = 0 seconds, he starts pushing it from rest with increasing force until it starts to move at t = 2 seconds. He pushes the file cabinet down the hall with varying amounts of force. The velocity versus time graph of the cabinet is shown below. A. On the graphs provided below, 1. draw the net force vs. time that would produce this velocity graph; 2. draw the friction force vs. time for this motion; 3. draw the applied force (Fon Cabinet by Bob) VS. time for this motion (the first two seconds of this graph have been drawn for you).
