Given the function representing the Side Road y = 3 - e^x - e^{-x}, calculate the y-axis intercept 'b'.
2In the experiment investigating acceleration due to gravity (g), the equation s = ut + 0.5gt^2 was linearized to s/t = 0.5gt + u. If the gradient of the resulting graph is 4.74, what is the calculated value of g?

4In the gravity experiment, why does the graph of s/t vs t NOT pass through the origin?
5According to the experiment evaluation, which methods are recommended to reduce the effects of systematic errors?

7The model train track function f(x) = px^3 + qx^2 + rx + s has a y-intercept at (0,7) and a gradient of 4.25 at that point. Identify the values of s and r.
8Based on the provided engine data table, which parameters are necessary to calculate the Power (W) of the engine?
9Which law explains why a falling magnet through a pipe with coils induces an electromotive force registered by an oscilloscope?
10If the equation 3 - ke^x - e^{-x} = 0 is rewritten as a quadratic in terms of E = e^x, what is the condition on k for at least one real solution for x to exist?
