A ball is released from rest at a height of 4m. At what speed does it hit the ground?

First write out information from the question.s=4m u=0m/s v=? a=9.8m/s² t=Choose correct "suvat" equation: v²=u²+2asSubstitute in known variables.Obtain v= 8.9m/s

Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y^3 - 4x^2 - 3xy + 25 = 0 at the point (2,-3).

A particle, P, moves along the x-axis. At time t seconds, t > 0, the displacement, is given by x=1/2t^2(t ^2−2t+1).

The rate of growth of a population of micro-organisms is modelled by the equation: dP/dt = 3t^2+6t, where P is the population size at time t hours. Given that P=100 at t=1, find P in terms of t.
