A car travelling at 14 m/s has to make an emergency stop so applies the brakes and it takes 1.5s to become stationary. What distance has the van travelled in that time?

Assuming constant deceleration we can use the equation s = t(u+v)/2, where u=14m/s, v=0m/s and t=4s. Inputting these values we have that the distance travelled s = 1.5(14)/2 = 21/2 = 10.5m
u = the st...

Two fair six sided dice, called A and B, are rolled and the results are added together. The sum of the dice is 8, what is the probability that two fours were rolled?

We know that A+B = 8 so we should first count the number of ways that the two dice could total 8. (A = 2, B = 6), (A=3, B=5), (A=4, B=4), (A=5, B=3) , (A=6, B= 2) -- this gives 5 possible waysWe also know...

Find the gradient of the straight line with equation 4x+3y=12

To answer the question the equation given must be rearranged into the straight line formula, y=mx+c, where m is the gradient of the slopeminus 4x from both sides, we now have 3y=12-4xthen divide through...
