    Mechanics

    http://imgur.com/LJpmGsZ For (ii) I keep getting an extra "+sin(phi)" at the numeratorbecause of the product rule? for (iii) I can't show it but does that imply that dtheta/dt also equal zero? sounds odd. because, if NT is tangential, angle NTO = 90, angle NOT = 180-theta which means phi =...

    Mechanics

    A particle P is undergoing uniform circular motion, while being pulled by two strings, one connected at A with the other string connected at B, vertically under A. At A, there is a hollow ring that is suspended. I drew the tensions in string AP, one tension going away from B towards P and...

    HSC q16 a ii

    *HSC 2012 How would I do this? (ii) Consider three identical separators to divide the 10 coins into 4 boxes, total = 13 items, including 3 identical separators and 10 identical coins. This was from Terry Lee's solutions, he referred to his book but I don't have it. What's a "divider" and can...

    Binomial expansion

    (x+y)^n = ^nC_0 x^{n}y^{0} + ^n C_1 x^{n-1}y^{1} + ... + ^n C_{r} x^{n-r}y^{r} + ... + ^n C_{n}x^{0}y^{n} Is this always the way you expand it? Because I was doing a question where their general term was: ^n C_{r} x^{r}y^{n-r} The powers are swapped around. Although it is symmetrical, this...

    stupid question about amphiprotic substances

    If HCO3^- is an amphiprotic substance meaning it can act as both acid and a base, won't its pH change at the same concentration? because if it acts as a base then wouldn't its pH be above 7 and if it acts as an acid its pH will be below 7

    Motion in a straight line

    The acceleration of a particle is 2x-5 m/s^(2) where x is the distance in metres from the origin. a) Find expression for the velocity of this particle in terms of x, given that the particle is at rest one metre to the left of the origin initially. I got v^2 = 2x^2 - 10x -12 but can't find a...

    Probability

    An unbiased die is thrown six times. Find the probability that the six scores obtained will be such that a 6 occurs only on the last throw and exactly three of the first five throws result in odd numbers. How would I start this?
