A ball is projected at an angle b from the horizontal. With initial velocity V the ball leaves the ground at point O and hits the ground at point A. If Vcos(b) = 6u and Vsin(b) = 2.5u, how long does the ball take to travel between O and A.

This is a classic 2-D projectile question. The best way to solve this problem is to split the velocity into its x and y components. In the x-direction a projectile has no forces acting on it (as we neglect a...

Differentiate the following: 3/2 x^(3/4) + 1/3 x^(-1/4)

In simple differentiation, we can use the fact that if y= x^n, dy/dx is equal to nx^(n-1). In other words, multiply the x term by the power, then decrease the power by 1. Here we have 2 terms so approach the...
