A particle P of mass 0.4 kg is moving under the action of a constant force F newtons. Initially the velocity of P is (6i – 27j) m s−1 and 4 s later the velocity of P is (−14i + 21j) m s−1 . Find, in terms of i and j, the acceleration of P.

On the whiteboard I would provide a brief drawing of the particle, and of all the information provided (force applied to P and its before and after velocity) as a visual aid for the student. I would ask/r...

A point lies on a circles diameter such that the distance from the point to the edge of circle is 4 times the distance from the point to the centre. What is the circles area in cm^2 if the distance from the point to edge is 5cm?

first we know that the length given has a 4:1 ratio with the remaining length of the radius so 5/4 + 5 = 25/4 = radius, the formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*(r^2) so the area is 625/16*pi.
