1. Problem 1. (1 point) Let given function g(t) be continuous, STRICTLY

POSITIVE on the interval (−∞, ∞) and function f (t) be continuous on the
interval (−∞, ∞), t0 be fixed time moment and y0 be given initial condition. Let
function y(t) be solution to the initial value problem

g(t) dy

4. Problem 4. (1 point) An object of mass m is thrown into the air from earth’s
surface with an initial velocity v0 . The motion is subjected to the Newton’s law.
Assume that there is no air resistance and only the gravitational force is acting on an
object.
Time when velocity of object equal half of initial velocity is independent
of mass m of an object.
(T/F)

5. Problem 5. (1 point) A person drop a ball of mass m from a roof of a building.

The motion is subjected to the Newton’s law. Assume that there is no air resistance
and only the gravitational force is acting on an object.
Time when the ball will reach earth’s surface is independent of mass m.
