  1. 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.

(1) A ball is thrown at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground. It lands 4/ 5 m away. (a) Find the initial speed. (b) Find the maximum height reached. (c) Find the speed at impact. Use g = 10m/s^2.

(3) Find an equation of the plane passing through A(1, 1 , โˆ’1), B(0, 1 , 3), and C(3, 2 , 0). What is the angle between this plane and the xz-plane?
