Consider two scenarios before and after. Before there is a velocity of 8m/s (with right being positive) and mass 1kg. after there is a mass of 1kg and a velocity of -4 m/s as right is positive and it boun...

A stationary point can be found when dy/dx = 0. The first thing we need to do is differentiate y to find dy/dx, and solve it for dy/dx = 0. This gives us...

First we make y the subject of the l1 equation. This is so we can have it in the form y=mx +c where m is the gradient and c is your y-intercept. For this example we would take away 2x from both sides leav...

finding the roots, means to find the coordinates at which the curve intersects the X axis. At first look you may notice that each function in the equation is divisible by 2, you can do this to make solvin...

First label the triangle to show the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse. Then you can use SOHCAHTOA to determine which trig function is needed. If you need to work out the opposite you use the sin function...
