3)
Find the triangle?
Maths
Rearrange the
following 10
equations to
find “a” for
each equation;
ab  c
ab  c
Maths rules

Do the same to both sides i.e.
add and divide

Separate terms on one side
must be put in brackets so
each is dealt with the same

Functions like cos, sin, tan,
squares can be cancelled by
their inverse. This is not the
same as 1/x function

Sqrt applies to everything not
just the term you fancy
sin 1 ( a )  d

tan(a )  b  c

Go one step at a time and write
our your working, less chance
of going wrong then!

See if it is true for numbers at
the start and end of your
rearranging.

Vectors I
1) What is the result distance and
angle (from vertical);
2) What is the result force and angle
(from horizontal);
NB. Ignore air resistance in all cases
3) What are the resultant forces.
4) What is the resultant force NS and
EW directions. Then resultant and
angle?
4.123N
Vectors II
NB. Ignore air resistance in all cases
1) vector or scalar? – force, temperature, acceleration, weight, displacement
2) When a ball is thrown vertically into the air what are the accelerating forces on it?
3) When a ball is thrown horizontally off a cliff what are the accelerating forces on it?
4) Draw a diagram and use Pythagoras rules involving cos & sin etc.. to explain how
to resolve a resultant force into two forces at 90 degrees.
5) When dealing with a problem involving a picture frame hanging from a single wire
under tension what can we say about the vertical or horizontal forces to help us
solve the problem?
6) Explain the difference between displacement and distance travelled using the
idea of a circular running track?
