Find the velocity at t=2.
Is speed the same as velocity?
What does a negative and positive velocity mean?
So what is the slope (derivative) of position?velocity
Find the average velocity from t= to t=
An object’s position is given by the function s(t) below, where s(t) is measured in meters and t is measured in seconds.
Find the instantaneous velocity at t=
What is the slope (derivative) of velocity?acceleration
What does a negative and positive velocity mean?
Do you think there is a derivative of acceleration?
Position of a particle is given by the function
a) Find the velocity at t=1. Is it traveling to the left or right at this point?
b) Find the acceleration at t=2. Is it accelerating to the left or right at this point?
c) Find the position at t=3
Position is given by the function
d) Find the average velocity from t=0 to t=3
e) Find the point where the particle comes to rest.
