plz explain iii and iv
i could explain it to you. it would take the same time as it took me to search for this video. but actually this video will build the concept and explain in a better way. so i am giving you this link not because i am lazy but because it explains in a better way.

Q7 pii
MS: http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_s11_ms_43.pdf

Q7 pii, I know that when velocity is maximum acceleration is zero but idk how to solve this part, I am getting t=0 , when solving a=0.
Help Me.
this is how to factorise in cases like these. you can substitute this value in V to find max velocity. upload_2014-5-10_15-26-8.png

The top of a cliff is 40 metres above the level of the sea. A man in a boat, close to the bottom of the cliff, is in difficulty and fires a distress signal vertically upwards from sea level.

This signal is above the level of the top of the cliff for (root) 17 seconds

Find the speed of projection of the signal.

Someone pls help thx!!!
Is this m1?

can u explain it?

the video didnt work... and my internet connection is too slow ryt now to load it on proxy or anything... but thankss anyways for that!
this is like an animtion to help you see what happens.

*lighter ball stops at maximum point (instanenously at rest) then moves downwards. it's acceleration after heaver ball hits the ground is 10 m/s²

hi i really need help im this question

http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/...S Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_s13_qp_42.pdf

Q7, the second part of the part ii
I'm just gonna explain the whole part..
For this part, we have:
u = 0 (initial velocity)
s = 0.6 m
v = ? (thats what we're looking for)
a = 5.846 (from part i)

lets use the equation v^2 = v^2 + 2as
v^2 = 0 + (2 x 5 x 0.6)
v = 2.65 m/s

For A:
There is no force acting on it, so forward force = 0
The only force is the horizontal component of the weight; mgsin(theta)
From F = ma,
0 - mgsin(alpha) = ma
-gsin(alpha) = a
a = -10 x 16/65
a = (-32/13) m/s^2

Now lets find the maximum distance travelled by A after B hits the ground (v = 0)
The final speed of B = initial speed of A

v^2 = u^2 + 2as
0 = (2.65)^2 + (2 x -32/13 x s)
s = 1.425m

So the distance of A from P will be:
2.5 - (0.6 + 1.425)

distance = 0.475m

Hope this helped :)

daredevil please remind me to explain that part to you. now i have to go. sorry for being busy and delaying your doubt for long time.
thanks for the animation ...

the smaller ball stops moving as the bigger ball hits the ground?

yeah okay.. u can tell me tomorrow after chem paper... if that's fine with u?

please explain step by step
First part
asdf.png
V = 0 + .3*T1
T1=V/.3
T3 =552-T2
0 = V - 1(T3)
putting in T3
0 = V - 1(552-T2)
T2 = 552 - V

Total distance travelled = 1/2 (sum of parallel sides) * height and equal it to 12000 (total journey was 12 km)
1/2 (552 + (T2-T1) ) * V = 12000
1/2 (552 + 552-V - V/.3) *V = 12000
(1104 -13/3V) *v = 24000
3312V - 13V^2 = 72000
The rest is pretty easy
