The velocity, v, of a moving body at time t is given by v = 50 - 10t. A) Find its acceleration. B) The initial displacement, s, is 40 meters. Find an expression for s in terms of t.

A) To find acceleration from a velocity equation, we must differentiate velocity, v = 50 - 10t.This gives us dv/dt = -10 = accelerationB) To find displacement from velocity, we must integrate the velocity...

Differentiate the following: 2x^2 + 3x -2

The correct answer is: 4x+3. The first part of the equation is differentiated by multiplying the power by the constant in front (2*2). The power is then reduced by one to x^1 (which is just x). This ...

Solve the following simultaneous equations: 3x + y = 11 2x + y = 8

Start off by determining which unknowns have the same coefficient-      In this case it would be y as the coefficient of y is 1 in both equationsThen make both equations equal to y-      So 3x+y= 11 would...

Show that the line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has gradient -a/b and cuts the y axis at -c/b?

This question involves inspecting the answers that have been provided to us. We have been given a constant gradient, and a point at which the line given by the equation cuts the y axis. This, therefore, m...
