For a Calculus class:
- Problem #1
Find examples of rectilinear motion in both your physics and calculus textbook. Produce graphs of displacement, velocity, and accleration. Are there any differences in notation used by the two books?
- Problem #2
There are some nice examples on the Physics 1110 web page. Go there and find a problem about rectilinear motion. For example, there are nice problems on the first exam.
- Problem #3
The physics book is full of functions. Find one example of a function that is discontinuous. Find one example of a function with a discontinuous derivative. Define all variables clearly and include a complete reference (book, page, and figure or equation number, if relevant).
- There are additional problems here.
