Advanced Placement Physics C: Mechanics with calculus-based physics principles.
When faced with a physics problem involving calculus, start by identifying what quantities are changing and which equations describe them. Draw diagrams, write out what is known and unknown, and look for relationships that require derivatives or integrals. Remember, many motion problems involve finding slopes (derivatives) or areas under curves (integrals)!
Break the problem into smaller parts, and don't be afraid to write out all your steps for clarity.
Find the velocity by taking the derivative of a position function.
Calculate displacement by integrating a velocity function over time.
