What this subsection covers
Origin and axis choices, Cartesian components, signs, and changing the description without changing the physics.A strong response uses scale sketches and states where the model stops being reliable.
Reasoning checklist
Evidence, assumptions and limits
Assumptions to state
State the system, observable, approximation, and conditions held fixed before using a model.
Evidence to collect
How accurately can numerical slopes and areas reconstruct a known motion?

How accurately can numerical slopes and areas reconstruct a known motion? Useful evidence includes sampled data, derivative and integral estimates, residuals, and a step-size discussion.
Limits to state

This GioPhysics course map is an adaptable teaching sequence, not a claim of accreditation or a universal university syllabus. Departments can adjust the order, mathematical depth, laboratory hours, and optional fluids endpoint to match local requirements. A result should be checked against units, signs, limiting cases, and the conditions under which its model was derived.
