Problem 6: In class, we showed that at an arbitrary point P with spherical coordinates (r, 0, 0), the unit vector ↑ could be written in terms of the Cartesian unit vectors as ↑ = sin cos x + sin 0 sin oy + cos 0 2. Determine the equivalent expressions for ✪ and in terms of â, ŷ, and 2 (i.e., in Carte- sian components using spherical coordinates), and verify that all three in fact have unit magnitude.

Hi! I already have answers for parts A-C in this problem, but I'm having trouble with the last part (D.). Attached is the guide to answer it. My answers for part C are: A = 0 B = (V_o cos theta)/omega C = -(mg)/k D = (V_o sin theta)/omega E = mg/k I tried substituting these coefficients to the x(t) and y(t) formulas, but I still can't reduce them to the usual projectile kinematic equations. Also, what does it mean to do a small angle approximation? I hope you can help, thank you in advanced!
