Lecture 14 (Position, Velocity, Work, and Integral Calculus)

These flashcards cover key concepts related to integral calculus, physics definitions, and kinematic equations based on the lecture notes.

Integral Calculus

A branch of calculus focusing on the summation of areas under curves or functions.

Definite Integral

The integral that calculates the net area under the curve from a starting point to an endpoint, yielding a specific numerical value.

Riemann Sum

A method for approximating the total area under a curve using a finite sum of areas of rectangles.

Work

The energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement.

Constant Force Work Formula

In 1D, the work done by a constant force equals the product of the force and the displacement (W = F * d).

Kinematic Equations

Equations that relate displacement, initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time under constant acceleration.

Indefinite Integral

the set of all possible antiderivatives of a function
