Find a solution for the differential equation dy/dx=exp(-y)*sin2x which passes through the origin.

First separate the variables so that the left side of the equation is an expression only in terms of y and the right side only in terms of x.exp(y)dy=sin2x dxSecondly both sides have to be integrated to o...

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...
