Our school’s physics teacher and I were chatting recently about an experiment he likes to conduct with his Grade 11 students and a related Mythbuster’s episode. The approach in Physics 20 requires students to use the displacement and velocity formulas provided there. This entry revisits the same problem and brings simple separable differential equations to the table.

Thanks for looking.
