    Acceleration in Kinematics: How Does it Vary with Displacement?

    No, @adjacent, the question isn't incomplete. We have to fill in the blank. "the acceleration varies with x as ________ ". Sorry for not mentioning it clearly!

    Acceleration in Kinematics: How Does it Vary with Displacement?

    Homework Statement A particle moves along a straight line such that its displacement x changes with time t as x= sqrt( at+2bt + c) where a, b and c are constants, then the acceleration varies with x as Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I can't figure out how do i solve...

    Facing problem in a questions on Vectors

    voko, here is what i did: (a+b)2= a2+b2+2(a).(b). (a-b)2=a2+b2-2(a).(b). on equating them, the square terms get canceled and what remains is this: 4(a).(b)=0 (a).(b)=0 since in a dot product if the product is equal to 0, the angle between them should be 90 degrees. but why do we...

    Facing problem in a questions on Vectors

    If |vector a+vector b|= |vector a- vector b| show that vector a is perpendicular to vector b. A friend of mine suggested me to square both the sides of the equation. At the end, the result was vector a. vector b=0, from which it could be proved that the vectors are perpendicular. But...
