We present two exercises from a differential equations text in which we ask students to model (1) falling object experiencing terminal velocity and (2) bobbing block of wood in liquid. We model the motion using Newton's Second Law of Motion and Archimedes' Principle.
Laplace One Liner
04 Jul 2020 | General Resources | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We offer a short Mathematica file in which we demonstrate the step by step commands for solving a second order, linear, constant coefficient, ordinary differential equation using Laplace Transforms and then we condense the entire set of instructions into one line of code - hence the name one liner.

Students will analyze temperature variations in a room using Newton's Cooling Law. In this model, the only influence on the indoor temperature is the (oscillating) outdoor temperature (as we assume the heating/cooling system is broken). The main goal of this project is for students to set up...
