Internal Links: Applications of First-Order Equations

Title	Summary
Two Motion Problems	Professor Lipsman (video) applies analytic methods to solve two motion problems. The first reduces to solving a separable equation. The second reduces to solving a linear equation and an explicit equation. Errata: When computing the "escape velocity," in the numerator of the equation the expression 2gR should be 2gR². In the statement about the force of gravity at the surface, the value of k is mgR², not mg.
