A 950 kg car accelerates from 0 to 33 m/s in 11 seconds. a) Calculate the acceleration of the car b) Calculate the force needed to produce this acceleration c) The car claims a top speed of 110 miles/hr. Explain why there must be a top speed for any car

a) a=v-u/t

= 33/1 = 3

b) F = ma

= 950x3 = 2850

c) Friction and air resistance increases with speed, till frictional = max forward force, then force/acceleration is zero

Solve the simultaneous equations 7x - 2y = 22 and 5x + 3y = 29

So we're going to solve this question using the elimination method. Now we can see that none of the x or y terms are the same in the 2 equations, so we have to make them the same. The easiet way to do thi...

What is the equation of the tangent drawn to the curve y = x^3 - 2x + 1 at x = 2?

The equation of a two-dimensional non-vertical line can easily be determined if its gradient 'm' and a point on the line (x0, y0) is known, using the formula m = (y - y0) / (x - x0). The gradient of the t...

Why does the product rule for differentiating functions work?

Let k(x) = f(x)g(x) then k'(x) = limit as h --> 0 of: (h(x+h)-h(x))/h = lim (f(x+h)g(x+h) - f(x)g(x))/h

We can factorise the numerator as:
f(x+h)g(x+h) - f(x)g(x) =f(x+h)g(x+h) -g(x)...
