    1. Two ships P and Q are moving along straight lines with constant velocities. Initially P is at a point O and the position vector of Q relative to O is (6i + 12j) km‚ where i and j are unit vectors directed due east and due north respectively. The ship P is moving with velocity 10j km h–1 and Q is moving with velocity (−8i + 6j) km h−1. At time t hours the position vectors of P and Q relative to O are p km and q km respectively. (a) (b) (c) Find p and q in terms of t. (3) Calculate the distance

    “Discuss the key differences between ‘individual racism’ and ‘institutional racism’. Give examples to illustrate your argument”. The Oxford English Dictionary describes racism as “prejudice‚ discrimination‚ or antagonism directed against a group or individual of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior”. It is significant when concerning oneself with the discussion of racism that a clear and concise distinction is made between the two different types of racism. Firstly

    in Lesson 1 is acceleration. An often confused quantity‚ acceleration has a meaning much different than the meaning associated with it by sports announcers and other individuals. The definition of acceleration is: Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity. Sports announcers will occasionally say that a person is accelerating if he/she is moving fast. Yet acceleration has nothing

    ACCELERATION: Good afternoon everyone! Our group will discuss about acceleration. But before that‚ what is acceleration? Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity. People will occasionally say that a person is accelerating if he/she is moving fast. Yet acceleration has nothing to do with going fast. A person can be moving very fast and still not be accelerating. Acceleration

    Acceleration from Gravity on an Incline I. Introduction: Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of a moving body. Galileo was the first person to actually experiment and examine the concept of acceleration back in the seventeenth century. Acceleration can be determined by calculating the gravity and an incline. An incline is slope that is deviated between horizontal and vertical positions. Gravity is the natural force of attraction towards the center of the earth. Because of this

    ⃑= (v_i ) ⃑t+ 1/2 a ⃑t^2 and F_net=ma ⃑ . The accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is . In this activity‚ an air-cart’s motion will be graphically analyzed. A mass will be attached to the air-cart by a string and hung over pulley with the other end attached to an air-cart resting on a frictionless surface. The study of the motion of the system of masses will be used to determine the velocity of the masses from an analysis of the displacement versus time data. This velocity will then be

    1. Alice throws the ball to the +X direction with an initial velocity 10m/s. Time elapsed during the motion is 5s‚ calculate the height that object is thrown and Vy component of the velocity after it hits the ground. 2. John kicks the ball and ball does projectile motion with an angle of 53º to horizontal. Its initial velocity is 10 m/s‚ find the maximum height it can reach‚ horizontal displacement and total time required for this motion. (sin53º=0‚ 8 and cos53º=0‚ 6) 3. The boy drops
