The diagram shows four choices for the direction of a force of magnitude F to be applied to a block on an inclined plane. The directions are either horizontal or vertical. (For choices a and b, the force is not enough to lift the block off the plane.) Rank the choices according to the magnitude of the normal force on the block from the plane, greatest first.

Friction (f)

A force that acts parallel to surfaces in contact with one another. Two types are kinetic and static.

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.

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.
