| Topic | Solving quadratics and applications |
| Type | Rearranging formula - single step isolation (square/root/fraction) |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.8 This is a straightforward algebraic manipulation requiring only two steps: multiply both sides by 2, then divide by m, then take the square root. It's simpler than typical A-level questions as it involves basic rearrangement with no quadratic formula needed and minimal algebraic complexity. |
| Spec | 1.02a Indices: laws of indices for rational exponents |
1 Make $v$ the subject of the formula $E = \frac { 1 } { 2 } m v ^ { 2 }$.
