Homework Statement
I am modelling the motion of a space probe and have some problems with obtaining velocity in terms of time v(t). I am given Q(z)=v2(z). Q(z) is a solution to ODE which I have solved with z being the independent variable.
Homework Equations
Q(z)= something really nasty, I am keeping it in maple
v(z)=[tex]\sqrt{Q(z)}[/tex] and everything else I can get by differentiating/integrating those two
The Attempt at a Solution
I have tried [tex]\int v(z) dz[/tex] between 0 and t (the range of t and z is only positive) but the result is nonsensical and maple will not compute it
I have been messing around with maple for past couple of hours to no avail, so I might not be thinking straight and missing something idiotic...
