    2017-CW_Groetsch-Hammer and Feather - Some Calculus of Mass and Fall Time
    Does a heavy object fall faster than a lighter one? In 1971 NASA astronaut Dave Scott, Commander of the Apollo 15 lunar mission, used a hammer and a falcon feather on the surface of the moon to give a dramatic illustration that this is not so.

    We model the height of a launched object which is subject to resistance proportional to velocity during its flight. We ask questions about the motion as well, e.g., highest point or apex and terminal velocity.

    3-002-ModelsMotivatingSecondOrder-ModelingScenario
    Ordinary differential equations involve second derivatives and second derivatives appear in many contexts, chief among them are the study of forces and resulting motion. This is principally because of Newton's Second Law of Motion.
