Substituting numbers into formula, part 3 |
|
|
In this lesson we will learn how to substitute numbers into more complicated formulas. Rob uses real formulas and real examples from Science in this lesson. This lesson takes you to New Zealand where you will see Dolphins chasing boats and jumping out of the water, Mt Everest on a very cold day and to the Eiffel Tower in France.
The questions covered in this lesson are all real equations and real life examples: i) Using the formula $KE$ = $\frac{{mv}^2}{2}$, find the kinetic energy, $KE,\ $of a dolphin with a mass of 300kg and velocity of 15m/s. ii) Using the formula $F$ = $\frac{9}{5}^\circ{C}$ + 32, a warm day on Mt. Everest is -$10^\circ{C}$, convert this temperature into Fahrenheit. iii) Using the formula $t$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$, calculate the time it takes a 2 pence to fall from the Eiffel Tower, $h$ = 325 and $g$ = 9.8 |
Straight Line Graphs |
Exam tip -- completing a table of values |
|
|
In this lesson we will learn a really quick and extremely easy way of completing a table of values for any straight line graph in the form of y = mx + c
The questions covered in this lesson are, make a table of values for the following straight line graphs i) $y$ = 2$x$ + 1 ii) $y$ = -3$x$ + 8 iii) $y$ = 3$x$ ${-}$ 2 iv) $y$ = -2$x$ + 7 |

Calculating average speed from a D/t graph part 1 |
|
|
There are 2 methods for calculating the average speed from a distance/time graph. In this lesson you will learn the first of these methods. Make sure that you also watch part 2 of this lesson to learn the other method. |
Calculating average speed from a D/t graph part 2 |
|
|
In this lesson we will learn the second method for calculating the average speed from a d/t graph. You must be able to calculate the gradient of any straight line graph before trying this lesson. If not then watch the following lesson in Algebra: Finding the gradient of a line.
