I recall in my highschool the math and physics (both were mandatory) teachers explicitly coordinated so that the derivatives and other relations were taught right before they got applied in physics. There are much simpler examples than capacitors and nuclear decay, you can explain all aspects of physics (starting with basic mechanics, position/speed/acceleration) simpler if you can rely on calculus.
