    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    Sorry my bad, actually the answer scheme is correct. A continues to move upwards even as B remain on the floor. Since the string has slackened, tension in string now =0 N and the velocity of A decreases from 1.6 m/s to 0m/s under the influence of gravity. Let additional distance moved by A=s2...

    For (i) I obtained an acceleration value of 4 m/s^2. (ii) Maximum height reached by A =distance B falls through before reaching the ground Let this be s. Then using v^2 =u^2 + 2as, substituting in the values, we have 1.6^2 = 0^2 +2 (4)(s) =====> s= 0.32 m (shown) (iii) Using s=ut +...

    Your identity is incorrect, the RHS should be 8 (cosx)^4 -3. I have provided the solution for this: For (ii), what equation exactly are you referring to? Note that (i) is an identity, there is nothing to solve for. Peace.

    There is symmetry involved here-the path of the ball on the way upwards, and that of the ball on the way downwards. Let initial velocity of the ball be u, then time taken to travel upwards =3/2 =1.5s When it attains its maximum height before falling downwards, velocity =0 Hence, 0= u +...

    Draw a right angled triangle, and label the opposite and adjacent sides as k and 1 respectively, such that the ratio of tan x is k/1=k The length of the hypotenus is then given by sqrt (k^2 +1) sin x is defined as opposite/hypotenus = k/ sqrt( k^2 +1) (shown) Hope this helps. Peace.

    Divide 2 pi sinx =pi -x by pi on both sides, we have 2 sinx = 1- x/pi = (-1/pi)*x +1 The line you have to sketch would be y=(-1/pi)*x +1 , where its gradient is simply -1/pi, and y-intercept value is 1. Hope this helps. Peace.

    tan (pi -x) = -tanx =-k tan(pi/2 -x ) = cot x =1/tanx =1/k To find sinx, try drawing out a right angled triangle. Label the opposite side as k and the adjacent side as 1 such that tanx =k Then sin x =opposite side/ hypotenus side = k/ sqrt (k^2 +1) (shown) Hope this helps. Peace.
