Explain why chlorine has a lower boiling point than Bromine. (2 marks)

Chlorine molecules are smaller than bromine molecules in size, therefore, the van der Waals forces (intermolecular forces) are weaker between Cl2 molecules than compared to Br2 molecules.

A cylindrical rod of radius 7mm and Young’s Modulus 70 GPa has a weight F applied to it. The material experiences a strain of 0.2%. What force has been applied?

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. E = stress/strain. Stress is the force per unit area, F/A. By substitution, we can see that E = F/(A x strain). Rearranging gives F = E x A x s...

f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 5. Find f'(x) and f''(x).

With differentitaion you multiply the fatcor it's raised by and minus one from the order

e.g. y = x^n so y' = nx^(n-1)

So f'(x) = 3x^2 + 6x and f''(x) = 6x + 6

What is the equation of the tangent to the circle (x-5)^2+(y-3)^2=9 at the points of intersection of the circle with the line 2x-y-1=0

Teh points of intersection can be found by subbing in y=2x-1 to the equation of the circle. (x-5)2+(2x-1-3)2=5x2-26x+33=9 so we have 5x2-26x+24=0. Solving the q...
