Newton's second law, F=ma, describes the relationship between an external force on an object F, the mass of the object m and the resulting acceleration of the object a. We can see that the acceleration of...

Thinking of sine and cosine as ratios of side lengths in a right angled triangle, sin(x) = o/h and cos(x) = a/h, so the sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 becomes (o^2 + a^2)/h^2. By Pyhtagoras, o^2 + a^2 = h^2, so we g...

For this we must take a step back and analyse the meaning of acceleration. Acceleration is a change in VELOCITY - this is very important. Velocity is speed in a particular DIRECTION. You may be confusing ...
