More Calculus Needed! Natural Log properties: *u substitution

U-Substitution There are times when the power rule is not an option for use as an integration technique. Example: For times greater than 0, an object beginning at the origin moves in one dimension according to the following expression: Find the distance traveled by the object during the first 10 seconds.

Differential Equations An equation that relates a quantity and its derivatives is called a differential equation. In APC Physics, we only need to be familiar with a few basic Diff E q’s. The independent variable will always be time, t. The acceleration of an object is given by the following function: Derive an expression for the velocity as a function of time assuming initial conditions are that x = 0 and v = 4m/s at t=0.
