Why do we get cos(x) when we differentiate sin(x)?

If we have an equation for a line, it follows a certain shape when put it on Cartesian axes. If we wish to find the value of the gradient of the graph at a certain coordinate, we can use differentiation t...

Integrate 3 sin(x) + cos(2x)

Here is an example of integration where you would use the chain rule. You would begin by integrating 3sin(x) to get -3cos(x) and then cos(2x) to get 1/2sin(2x). This is because whatever is multiplied by t...

Write 36% as a fraction in its simplest terms.

36%= 36/100

Divide it by 2, the answer will be 18/50.

It can then be divide by 2 again and getting to the answer of 9/25.

A ball is projected at an angle b from the horizontal. With initial velocity V the ball leaves the ground at point O and hits the ground at point A. If Vcos(b) = 6u and Vsin(b) = 2.5u, how long does the ball take to travel between O and A.

This is a classic 2-D projectile question.

The best way to solve this problem is to split the velocity into its x and y components.

In the x-direction a projectile has no forces acting on it...
