A 1kg mass is launched from the ground into the air at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal and with initial speed 25 ms^-1. Assuming negligible air resistance, how far from the starting point will the mass travel before it hits the ground?

1: Draw a diagram 2: Split the velocity into its horizontal and vertical components using trig. Vertical velocity: 25sin(30) Horizontal velocity: 25cos(30) 3: Work out forces on the mass to find vertical and...

A ball is released on a smooth ramp at a distance of 5 metres from the ground. Calculate its speed when it reaches the bottom of the ramp.

The ramp is smooth, so the effects of friction can be ignored. Therefore, the potential energy lost by the ball is equivalent to the kinetic energy gained by the ball. The formula for kinetic energy is 1/2 *...

How do you integrate ln(x)?

I would use the whiteboard and write down y=lnx, and also the integration by parts formula below it. I would then explain how to treat ln(x) as the "u" and "1" as dv/dx; including why thi...
