Question 7

Written Paper Section I Question 7 - 2001 HSC

Find the volume of a solid of revolution. Find probabilities in relation to multi-stage events. Calculate the initial displacement of a particle moving in a straight line. Show that a given equation represents an equivalent statement of the equation for the displacement of the particle, and hence find expressions for the velocity and acceleration of the particle. Determine the limiting velocity of the particle.
