    calculus to prove angle of maximum range (projectile)

    I've been attempting to prove that 45 degrees is the angle required for maximum range of a projectile, but have been unsuccessful in finding the equation that will allow me to differentiate... It sounded quite simple when I started trying, then an hour later it was still no luck. If I was to...

    soooooo not ready to start year 12

    I really like the space topic so far... :/ We've pretty much just started it though... barely started projectiles... grr I hate being behind! We had to change teachers after prelims (our old one was simply too slow and wouldn't have completed the course in time). New teacher is basically my...

    soooooo not ready to start year 12

    Heh Wow. Well done, but somehow I can't see that working so well for myself. lol Yes, perhaps if the teachers would refrain from making it such a huge deal... But then again, I guess we need it as motivation. Hmmm I wonder what the studies on stress as a motivational tool are like... ^^ Lucky...

The HSC we're starting here. Those three horrendous letters... already getting to me... ahhhh! Already I...

    Someone explain it to me!

    Hey. As far as I'm aware, the main criteria from the syllabus (which can be downloaded for a proper explanation) for the major work is to choose from one of these options: Short Story, Poem, Critical Response, Script (- radio, film, television, drama), Speech, Radio Drama, Performance Poetry...

    English Extension 2, 2007 - Mediums

    I don't have a clue what I'm doing... Thinking short story or critical response, because my attempts at poetry and filming are gag-worthy. My lovely teacher set homework to decide on two possibilities and what you want to do in them. Pity there's no idea rolling around in the space I'd like to...

    Creative ways to destroy the stimulus book

    Taking a look at my new shiny copy, I'm thinking in a year's time I'll enjoy making a paper plane, lighting it on fire, then sailing it into the English staffroom window. Though I'm a bit worried about the aerodynamics of the plane... Should hopefully remain alight throughout its flight...
