then the slope of the tangent of 5x−1
x at point x is x12 . using the slope-point form, the first point is (0, 3) and
5x−1
the second point is (x, x ) (because the line must pass through the graph of the function) and the slope is

Question 1.3
2 csc(x)
using the logarithimic identitiy aloga (x) = x, we will subisitute for (sin x + 1)2 csc(x) = aloga ((sin x+1) )
then
the limit becomes 2 csc(x)

using the power rule of the logarithimes
lim a2 csc(x) loga ((sin x+1))
x→0
loga ((sin x+1))

for f to be continious x2 + 4x + c = −1 at x = −2 and ax + b = −1 at x = −2 and limx→2 x−2 = ax + b
at x = 2. subistituting and solving:
(−2)2 + 4(−2) + c = −1
c=3
and then
−2a + b = −1
and then √

lim
x→2 x−2
p

lim

using the identitiy limx→0 loga (1+x)

x = loga (e)
loga ((1+sin(x)))

Question 2.2
assume two forces with magnitudes equal to F1 = | sin(θ)| and F2 = | sin(180 − θ)|, the two horizontal
components of F1 and F2 are | sin(θ)| cos(θ) and | sin(180 − θ)| cos(180 − θ), as sin(θ) = sin(180 − θ) and
cos(θ) = − cos(180 − θ), F1 cos(θ) + F2 cos(180 − θ) = | sin(θ)| cos(θ) − | sin(θ)| cos(θ) = 0. then the horizontal
components of every force will cancel out, leaving us with the vertical components of the form sin(θ) sin(θ).
P180
then the net force is x=1 (sin2 (x)). using the pythongries identity sin2 (x) = 1 − cos2 (x), then the sum becomes
P180 2 2
x=1 (1 − cos (θ)). as − cos (θ) will cancel with − cos2 (180 − θ) = cos2 (θ), then the cos part of the sum will
P180
all be canceled, leaving us with Fn et = x=1 (1) = 180, the acceleration of the ball will be 180/10 = 18m/s2 .
vf = vi + 2as = 10 + 2 · 18 · 5 = 90m/s

Question 1.3
Nour will expeiernce the force F⃗ and Nawar will expeiernce the reaction force −F⃗ . let Nawar mass be m1 and
Nour ms , then Nawar acceleration will mF1 and Nour will be mF2 . using the SuVat rule s = ut + 21 at2 , for Nawar

case 2 = 2m1 , then m1 = 4 . for Nour case, 3 = 2m2 , then m2 = 4 then m2 = 1 2 = 4

moved because of the reaction force of the Force that Nour applied on the other side of the ropeF⃗ .

Question 2.4
the weight of the wooden box is 10N then the normal force in the inclination will be the vertical component of the
weight and the force parrell to the inclination will be the horizontal component of the weight at the angle of the
Assginment 1 5

inclination. the hyptnuse of the inclination = 10 by pythagoars. the normal force Fn = 10·sin(θ) = 10· 10 = 6N
8
and the horizontal component is 10 · sin(θ) = 10 · 10 = 8N , th friction force will be f = µ · Fn = 0.2 · 6 = 1.2
then the resulting force is 8 − 1.2 = 6.8N . the acceleration will be 4.5333m/s2 , the distance covered dur-
ing the 1.5s will be 21 · 4.53333 · (1.5)2 = 5.1m, if we took to the projection of the object on the ground,
x 8
the horizontal distance between the right tip of the ramp and the projection will be 10−5.1 = 10 , x = 3.92m
(since the two triangles are similar). then the total horizontal distance between the ball and the box will be
(20 − 8) + 3.92 = 15.92m. given that |⃗ vi | = 14ms−1 , v⃗ix = 14 · cos(θ). Then 14 · cos(θ) = 15.92m
1.5 , then
cos(θ) = 0.748 . . ., then θ = cos 0.758 . . . = 40.7034 . . .◦

Question 2.5
let weight of helmy = x, then the normal force with the inclined side = x · sin 30◦ . the other component parrelle
with the inclined side = x · cos(30◦ ). as said in the question ”Helmy was about to move”, then the net force is
equal to the maximum static friction. then 62 · 10 − x · cos 30 = µ · Fn = 0.4 · x sin(30), solving for x gives us
x = 581.6N , then the mass of helmy = 581.6 10 = 58.16Kg

Question 3.1

tangential acceleration of hossam 114 49 = 2.3265306122ms , maximum centripital force = r = 20 =

49·5.41·t
20 = 200 solving for t gives us t = 3.884s (-ve is regected)

Question 3.4

subisituting for v = 20 in mv
r , then
400m
r . in the case Nour threw the ball then,
400m
r = 8 only m = 0.1Kg and
400m
r = 5m satisfies the equation. in case Nwar threw the ball r = 10, m = 0.5Kg and r = 20m are a solution,
and m = 0.25Kgd and r = 20m
