PHY 2048 Learning: Module 03: Differential and Integral Calculus

front 1 Consider the two functions shown below. Assume the blue line represents a(x) and the pink line represents b(x). Which statement is true about these functions at x=3?	back 1
front 2 Find the derivative of U(x) with respect to x for U(x)=4x²-3x+2.	back 2 dU/dx=8x-3
front 3 On the plot shown, assume the horizontal axis represents x and the vertical axis represents y. At what value of x does the function y(x) have a value of zero and a positive derivative?	back 3 The function y(x) is zero at x = 2 and at x = 6 But at x = 2, the function is decresing with negative slope===> negative derivative while at x = 6, the function is incresing with positive slope===> positive derivative
front 4 We know that the velocity (v(t)) is the derivative of position (x(t)) with respect to time, meaning v(t) = dx/dt. Given that, what do we get if we integrate the velocity of an object from t=1 to t=4, meaning integral t=4 t=1 v(t)dt?	back 4 The change in the object’s position between t=1 and t=4

front 5 What is the derivative of B(t) with respect to t for B(t) = Asin(kx-omegat)?	back 5 dB/dt=-omegaAcos(kx-omegat)
front 6 Find the derivative of y(x) with respect to x for y(x)=4+3x.	back 6 dy/dx=3
front 7 The potential energy of a particle experiencing a certain kind of force is given by U(x)=2x+(8/x) measured in joules (J), for positive values of x. What is the minimum potential energy this particle can have?	back 7 8 J
front 8 What is the derivative of U(x) with respect to x for U(x)=10e^5x?	back 8 dU/dx=50e^5x

front 12 The rate of change of quantity Z is also called its ______.	back 12 derivative Explanation: The rate of change of quantity Z with respect to time is also called its derivative. The integral of a quantity represents summing up the area under the function, not its rate of change. A cross product is a method of multiplying two vectors and is not a rate of change. A dot product is a method of multiplying two vectors and is not a rate of change.

front 13 Which is the correct mathematical representation of the area indicated in the figure?	back 13 The area under a curve is the integral of the function over the indicated range.
front 14 Find the derivative of f(t) with respect to t for f(t)=10t¹⁰.	back 14 Differentiate using the power rule, d/dx[xⁿ]=nx^n-1. df/dt=10 x 10 t ^(10-1) df/dt=100t⁹
front 15 What is d/dx sin(x)?	back 15 cos(x)
front 16 The force exerted on a particle experiencing a certain kind of force is given by F(t)=-3t⁴+8t³+5, with F measured in newtons (N) and t measured in s. At what time is the most force exerted on the particle?	back 16 At about t=2 seconds
