Just need some help rearranging this equation to make M the subject, thanks
v = sqrt 2kt / m
v = sqrt 2kt / m

I see two mistakes in what you did:jim the duke said:sqrt v = sqrt 2kt / m
If the problem is v= sqrt(2kt/m) then, yes, start by squaring both sides to get rid of the square root.jim the duke said:Just need some help rearranging this equation to make M the subject, thanks

The process for rearranging an equation involves isolating the variable you want to solve for on one side of the equation and simplifying the other side by performing inverse operations.
Rearranging equations allows us to solve for a specific variable and manipulate the equation to better understand its relationship between different variables.
The basic rules for rearranging equations include performing inverse operations, keeping the equation balanced, and following the PEMDAS order of operations.
Some common mistakes to avoid when rearranging equations include forgetting to perform inverse operations, making errors in arithmetic, and losing track of which side of the equation the variable is on.
You can check if you rearranged an equation correctly by plugging in your solution to the original equation and confirming that both sides are equal.
