MATHS IN SCIENCE
MATHS IN PHYSICS-falling object
CONDITION A ball falls from a height of 50 meters. After 1 second it is at 40 m, after 2 seconds at 20 m, and after 3 seconds it reaches 0 m. TASK Which mathematical model best describes the motion of the ball, and what does the decreasing height represent?
MATHS IN CHEMISTRY-gas production
CONDITION During a chemical reaction, gas is produced over time: after 0 minutes = 0, after 2 minutes = 5, after 4 minutes = 12, after 6 minutes = 20. TASK What type of mathematical relationship best describes the gas production, and what does the increasing slope mean?
