Key Concepts

Differentiation (डर)

• Definition: Measures how quickly a quantity changes
• Rate of Change: How fast a physical quantity changes
• Meaning: Rate of change and Graphical meaning (slope of tangent)
• **Rules/Formulas:
  • $d(e^x)/dx = e^x$
  • $d( ext{sin}x)/dx = ext{cos}x
  • $d( ext{cos}x)/dx = - ext{sin}x
  • $d( ext{tan}x)/dx = ext{sec}^2x
  • $d( ext{cot}x)/dx = - ext{csc}^2x
  • Product Rule: $d(uv)/dx = u(dv/dx) + v(du/dx)
  • Chain Rule: $dy/dx = (dy/du) * (du/dx)
• Applications: Used to find the slope of tangent, rate of change, and other physical interpretations like velocity, acceleration, etc.

Integration (इंटीग्रेशन)

• Definition: Opposite of differentiation; combining small elements to find the whole
• **Rules/Formulas:
  • $ ext{∫}e^x dx = e^x + C
  • ∫ ext{sin}x dx = - ext{cos}x + C
  • ∫ ext{cos}x dx = ext{sin}x + C
  • ∫ ext{sec}^2x dx = ext{tan}x + C
  • ∫ ext{csc}^2x dx = - ext{cot}x + C
  • ∫ ext{1/x} dx = ext{ln}|x| + C
  • Integration by parts and substitution for more complex functions
• Applications: Used to find area under curves, total distance, total displacement

Equations of Motion (यूनिफॉर्म एक्सीलरेशन)

• First Equation: $v = u + at
• Second Equation: $s = ut + 1/2 at^2
• Third Equation: $v^2 = u^2 + 2as
• Derivation: Using calculus to derive these equations
• **Brahmastra Method: Logical approach for quick problem-solving
  • Velocity change: $v = u + at (incremental change)
  • Displacement: Average Velocity * Time
• Applications: Used for solving numerical problems quickly without extensive calculations

Special Cases

• **Maximum and Minimum Values (मैक्सिमा और मिनीमा):
  • Definition: Highest and lowest points on a curve
  • Conditions: Slope (first derivative) is zero
  • Second Derivative Test: Determines if the point is a maximum or minimum
• **Motion Under Gravity (गुरुत्वाकर्षण के तहत गति):
  • Free Fall: Equations and calculations
  • Projection: Upward and downward motion, including maximum height and time of flight

Graphical Analysis (ग्राफ्स का विश्लेषण)

• **Position-Time Graphs (पोजीशन-टाइम ग्राफ):
  • Slope: Gives velocity
  • Curves: Indicative of acceleration
  • Applications: Understanding motion visually
• **Velocity-Time Graphs (वेलोसिटी-टाइम ग्राफ):
  • Slope: Gives acceleration
  • Area Under Curve: Gives displacement
• **Acceleration-Time Graphs (एक्सीलरेशन-टाइम ग्राफ):
  • Area Under Curve: Change in velocity
  • Applications: Understanding changes in velocity and acceleration over time
