Hi,
I'm a little confused about something. I have an object, and I want to take the partial derivative of its position wrt velocity and vice versa. I'm not sure how to begin solving this problem. Essentially, what I have is this:
## \frac{\partial x}{\partial \dot x} ##
and
## \frac{\partial \dot x}{\partial x} ##
where the position ##x## can be determined by its velocity ##\dot x ## by:
## \int_0^t \! \dot x \, \mathrm{d}t ##
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
