This is a common question in A-level physics and a core concept for the course.  

Fission occurs when a heavy nucleus splits into smaller, more stable nuclei, releasing energy in the proc...

First we make a sketch of the situation. Then we notice that V can be found by using Pythagoras. Finally, we find theta using the definition of a tan.

(ii) Air resistance is said to be negligible in the question and since air resistance would be the only horizontal force acting on the jet, the horizontal force is also 0. (1 mark) This results in the hor...

(i) The only force acting on the water jet is gravity which always acts vertically downwards so the force at Y, as well as every point between X and Y, is down.Simply writing "down" would still ...
