The Particle--Motion Problem.

Demana, Franklin; Waits, Bert K.

Mathematics Teacher, v86 n4 p288-92 Apr 1993

Discusses solutions to real-world linear particle-motion problems using graphing calculators to simulate the motion and traditional analytic methods of calculus. Applications include (1) changing circular or curvilinear motion into linear motion and (2) linear particle accelerators in physics. (MDH)
