Physics exercises

1. Exercise (2.1).
2. Exercise (2.3) but with the position in rectangular coordinates given as (sin(t)*cos(t)*(16*cos(t)^4-20*cos(t)^2+5), (16*cos(t)^4-12*cos(t)^2+1)*sin(t)^2, (16*cos(t)^4-12*cos(t)^2+1)*sin(t)^2). Hint: expand cos(5*t) in terms of cos(t) and sin(t). Bonus: plot this.
3. Do questions 5 and 6 from the midterm explicitly. In other words, give a situation and an explicit formula for each of the terms.
4. Exercise (2.6)
5. Exercise (2.7)
6. Exercise (2.16)
