So, what do you mean by inverting the trig identity?
Could you possibly, show me how to start this question?
sin Alpha cos β = ½[sin (Alpha + β) + sin (Alpha − β)] <--- This is a trig identity I should be using?
So would i just set Alpha = 2*pi*f*x/v and beta = 2*pi*f*t?

I have just a question to clarify. When an object is in free-fall the gravity is always + 9.81 m/s^2? and also when it is talking about two dimension kinematics gravity is working on an object thrown in the air it is -9.81 m/s^2?
