Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are given a function \( f(x) = 2x \) and tasked to evaluate the integral \( I = \int_{-5}^{5} f(x) \delta(x - 3) dx \). Find the value of \( I \).

💡 Hint: Recall how the delta function selects the value from the function.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider an impulse function \( F(t) = 5 \delta(t - 1) \). If this force is applied to a mass of 10 kg, what is the instantaneous acceleration?

💡 Hint: Apply Newton’s law of motion considering instantaneous force.
