If a 30N force is applied to a stationary object of mass 10kg, at what speed will the object accelerate?

By taking the formula F=m*a, and rearranging the make a the subject, we get a=F/m. Then by substituting in the values given we can work out that a=30/10=3. The units of acceleration are ms -2 so hence, the o...

Find the perpendicular bisector passing through the stationary point of the curve y=x^2+2x-7.

First thing to do is to find the stationary point of the curve. This is done by differentiating the function and then equating to zero, as the gradient of the stationary point is zero. Setting dy/dx to zero ...
