If a 5 metre ladder is resting against a wall and the bottom of the ladder is 3 metres away from the wall, and someone pulls the bottom of the ladder away at a speed of 1 metre per second, calculate the speed of the top of the ladder after t seconds

After t seconds the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall is t metres. Let x denote the distance that the top of the ladder has moved after t seconds. Now use the theorem of Pythagoras to...

A 1kg mass is launched from the ground into the air at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal and with initial speed 25 ms^-1. Assuming negligible air resistance, how far from the starting point will the mass travel before it hits the ground?

1: Draw a diagram2: Split the velocity into its horizontal and vertical components using trig. Vertical velocity: 25sin(30) Horizontal velocity: 25cos(30)<...
