Week of Sept 25 -- 29, 2002

Friday, September 27: Study: Chapter 10, Sections 3 and 4 (skip orthogonal trajectories). Do WeBWorK assignment (due Friday, October 4, 8 AM): "setm9f02day2" Do written assignment (due Friday, October 4): 36, p.635. For this problem assume that the initial velocity is positive, otherwise the speed of the object in part (b) increases with time. Since v^2 > v if v > 1, it seems that the magnitude of the resistive force is greater in part (b). So one might expect that the object travels farther in part (a) than it does in part (b). Is this the case? If not, what is wrong with the above reasoning? Answer also these questions when you write the solution of the problem.

Wednesday, September 25: Study: Chapter 10, Sections 1 and 2 (skip Euler's method). If you feel rusty, flip through your old calculus book to refresh your memory on the basics. Do WeBWorK assignment (due Wednesday, October 2, 8 AM): "setm9f02day1" Try set0 if you find entering the answers confusing; it will walk you through the basics of WeBWorK. Do written assignment (due Wednesday, October 2): 18, p.628.
