Using the principle of the conservation of energy, calculate the maximum speed of a ball of 5.0kg that has been dropped from a height of 20m. (Given that the gravitational field strength is equal to 9.8N/kg)

Answer: 20ms-1The gravitational potential energy before the ball is dropped is equal to mgh. This gives the ball a maximum gravitational potential energy of 5.0kg * 9.8N/kg 20m which is equ...

A right angled triangle has two short sides of lengths 5cm and 12cm respectively. What is the length of the third side?

13cm. Using Pythagoras theorem a^2 +b^2 =c^2 we substitute our two known lengths into the equation to get 5^2 + 12^2=c^2.
So now we have c^2= 25+144. So c^2 =169. So c=√169 = 13. Don't forget the un...

The two points (4,9) and (2,3) are on line A. A second line, line B is perpendicular to line A and goes through the point (2,3). What is the equation of line B?

Step 1, find the gradient of line A: gradient = change in y/change in x = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2) = 9-3/4-2 = 6/2 = 3Step 2, find the gradient of line B: as the two lines are perpendicular, the gradient of ...
