Express 4x/(x^2-9) - 2/(x+3) as a single fraction in its simplest form.

To satisfy the condition of substracting two fractions with unlike denominators, a common denominator needs to be found. By recognizing x^2 - 9 = (x-3)(x+3), we can rewrite the question as 4x/(x-3)(x+3) -...

Two particles, A and B, are moving directly towards each other on a straight line with speeds of 6 m/s and 8 m/s respectively. The mass of A is 3 kg, and the mass of B is 2 kg. They collide to form a single particle of speed "v" m/s. Find v.

The student should apply their knowledge of conservation of momentum. Also, I would always encourage the student to draw a diagram for all mechanics questions as it helps visualise the problem.total chang...
