ok stupid question probably-
take v(velocity) to be a function of x and x to be a function of t(time).
then dv/dt=vdv/dx that's cool
but in the hint in problem 2.12 classical mechanics by john r taylor he equates vdv/dx and 1/2(dv^2)/dx
that is- vdv/dx=1/2(dv^2)/dx
Could someone please explain this?
