A particle of mass 0.5 kg is moving down a rough slope (with coefficient of friction = 0.2) inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal. Find the acceleration of the particle. Use g = 9.8 ms^-2.

Resolving perpendicular to the plane: R - mg cos30 = 0. Therefore, R = m g cos30, where R is the reaction force perpendicular to the plane. Res...

Evaluate f'(1) for the function f(x) = (x^2 + 2)^5

First, we must differentiate the function. To do this we must let the contents of the bracket be equal to 'u'. We now can produce two equations, one by subbing in 'u' into the function f(x) to give us u^5...
