    Mechanics

    Yeah, I see that in solutions all the time but our teacher never showed us how that works, looks a lot quicker. How do you do that?

    Try and establish a bit of a procedure, usually the trick is to find acceleration in terms of a rate of change of the variable you're trying to find over the variable you're given (usually v). All you really need to remember is a =dv/dt = v dv/dx = d/dx (1/2 v^2) = d^2x/dt^2 For example if...

    Been looking around for a while now and I've never seen a conclusive list of what compounds/flame test colours/valencies/how many H+ ions acids give up etc. So I thought I'd start a communal list unless someone's already found something? I'll edit this post as people add things... Polyatomic...
