Why are neutrinos hard to detect?

Neutrinos are hard to detect because they are 100,000s of times smaller than an electron, so are too small to detect with current equipment. They also dont have a charge and do not interact with any other at...

The tangent to a point P (p, pi/2) on the curve x=(4y-sin2y)^2 hits the y axis at point A, find the coordinates of this point.

p=4pi 2 differentiating with respect to y we have dx/dy = 2(4y-sin2y)(4-2cos2y) substituting in the value of y =pi/2 we have dx/dy = 24pi, which means dy/dx =1/pi24using (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1) we have y-pi/2=1/24p...

The parametric equations of a curve are: x = cos2θ y = sinθcosθ. Find the cartesian form of the equation.

x = cos2θ y = sinθcosθcos2θ = cos 2 θ - sin 2 θ cos 2 θ + sin 2 θ = 12cos 2 θ = 1 + cos2θ cos 2 θ = 1/2(1 + x)2sin 2 θ = 1 - cos2θ sin 2 θ = 1/2 (1 - x)y 2 = sin 2 θcos 2 θy 2 = ( 1/2(1 + x)) . (1/2 (1 - x))...

If a motor uses 500J to raise a box of 25N, how high has the box been lifted?

Work done = Force x distance the applied force has moved, hence 500 = 25d where d = unknown distance. Therefore the distance moved is 500/25 = 20m

find dy/dx of x^1/2 + 4/(x^1/2) + 4

This can be rewritten as x 1/2 + 4x -1/2 + 4, hence dy/dx = (1/2)x -1/2 - 2x -3/2
