A particle is projected from the top of a cliff, 20m above the sea level at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal at 20m/s. At what vertical speed does it hit the water?

Using SUVAT equations:s = -20mu = 20sin(30) = 10m/sv = ?a = -9.8m/s^2t = ?v^2 = u^2 + 2asv = sqrt(100 + 40x9.8)= 22.2m/s

How can the integrating factor method be derived to give a solution to a differential equation?


The infinite series C and S are defined C = a*cos(x) + a^2*cos(2x) + a^3*cos(3x) + ..., and S = a*sin(x) + a^2*sin(2x) + a^3*sin(3x) + ... where a is a real number and |a| < 1. By considering C+iS, show that S = a*sin(x)/(1 - 2a*cos(x) + a^2), and find C.
