You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If it's a direct variation, I can say
\n" ); document.write( "\"+20+%2F+50+\" ( m/s ) / J is a constant
\n" ); document.write( "(a)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2F5+=+4%2FE+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2E+=+20+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+E+=+10+\" J
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "(b)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2F5+=+s+%2F+200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+400+=+5s+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+80+\" m/sec\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
