5.1 Antidifferentiation

Definition 1 (Antiderivative)
A function F is called an antiderivative of f on an interval I if

F 0 (x) = f (x) for all x ∈ I.

Theorem 2
If F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I , then the most general
antiderivative of f on I is F (x) + C , where C is an arbitrary constant.

Notation: The notation


Z
f (x)dx = F (x) + C

is called the indefinite integral of f and C is called the constant of


integration.

Rectilinear Motion

s (t) = v (t) =⇒ s(t) = v (t)dt (2)

small, sharp-edged hole in its base. Find the formula for the volume of
fluid in the tank at time t (seconds)?

Example 39
A cylindrical tank (with a circular base) is filled with a liquid that is draining
through a small circular hole in its base. If the tank is 9 ft high with radius
4 ft, and the drain hole has radius 1 in., how long does it take for the tank
to empty?

Modeling the motion of a projectile: Escape velocity

Consider a projectile that is launched with initial velocity v0 from the planet’s
surface along a direct line through the center of the planet.

1) Find the formula for the velocity


v = v (s), where s is the distance from
the center of the planet.
2) Find the minimal velocity v0 so that the
projectile will escape the planet’s
gravitational attraction.

Thus the formula for the velocity

v 2 = 2gR 2 s −1 + v02 − 2gR. (35)

Find the minimal velocity v0 ?

The projectile will keep moving away from the planet until it reaches a
point where v = 0.

Find the minimal velocity v0 ?

The projectile will keep moving away from the planet until it reaches a
point where v = 0.

Since 2gR 2 s −1 > 0 for all s > 0, we consider two following cases:
if v02 − 2gR < 0 then
2gR 2
v =0 when s = −
