... 3. Nikita and Rachel are driving their new cars westward on the highway. At the very same instant, they cross the Weston town line (call it t = 0). Nikita’s velocity is 20 m/s westward at that moment, while Rachel is going faster at 30 m/s (in the same direction). Each driver is accelerating westwar ...

... • Newton’s Laws of Motion are: (1) Acceleration (or deceleration) occurs if and only if there is a net external force. (2) a = F/m [Note this is a vector eqn.] (3) The force exerted by a first object on a second is always equal and opposite the the force exerted by the second on the first. F12 = ...

If you apply the same force to several different objects, the one with the most mass will have the smallest acceleration and the one with the least mass will have the greatest acceleration. If you apply the same for ...

Differentiation of vectors
... In the previous chapters we have considered real functions of several (usually two) variables f : D → R, where D is a subset of Rn , where n is the number of variables. These are scalar-valued functions in the sense that the result of applying such a function is a real number, which is a scalar quan ...
