As a physics student๐, not having basic knowledge of Further Mathematics is a serious disadvantage Let me show you why โ with a simple real-life physics + calculus example ๐ ๐๐ Question: The velocity of a space shuttle is given by: V(t) = 25 + 3t^2 Find the instantaneous acceleration at t = 9 s SOLUTION To solve this, you need to know that: Instantaneous acceleration = derivative of velocity (dV/dt) This is where differentiation โ a key part of Further Math โ comes in ๐ LETโS DIFFERENTIATE: V(t)= 25 + 3t^2 dV/dt= 0 + 6t = 6t dv/dt= 6t Now substitute : a=dv/dt=6t a(9) = 6X9 = 54m/s^2 Donโt run from Further Math โ master it.
