The cyclist used the brakes to slow down and stop the bicycle. A constant braking force of 140 N stopped the bicycle in a distance of 24 m. Calculate the work done by the braking force to stop the bicycle. Give the unit. (3 Marks)

Work done= force x distance.Here we are told that the force is 140N. The braking distance of the bike is 24m. Therefore, work done is 140 x 24=3360 (2 marks) Joules.(1 mark)The units of work done are Joules....

Solve the equation 3^(5x-2)=4^(6-x), and show that the solution can be written in the form log10(a)/log10(b).

So we have the equation initially in the form 3^(5x-2)=4^(6-x), and as the solution involves log10, then a sensible first move would be to take log10 of both sides, giving log10(3^(5x-2)) = log10(4^(6-x)). U...
