BOTTOM LINE FOR CALCULUS...

Position-Velocity-Acceleration are related as RATES OF CHANGE of each other
VELOCITY = rate of change of position, with direction
ACCELERATION = rate of change of velocity, with direction
SPEED: | Velocity |, always positive

Instantaneous ROC = a Derivative!

Easy as 1, 2, 3!
1) Position
2) Velocity = ROC of Position
3) Acceleration = ROC of Velocity

AVERAGE RATE OF CHANGE was something we did in the olden days...

This man's position is determined by s(t) = 1 + 3t - 2t^2 for t in [1, 3], s in
feet, t in seconds. Determine his average velocity on this time interval.

Calculus has it's highs and lows. You're on a low day and decide to drop
your calculator from the top of a building 64 ft high.

a = acceleration due to gravity
a = -32 ft/s or a = -9.8 m/s

CHECK YOUR WORK:

s(t) = -16t^2 + 64
v(t) = -32t
a(t) = -32
______________________________________
The calc hits the ground when s(t) = 0. That is, after t = 2s. v(2) = -64 ft/s, a(2) = -32 ft/s^2.
______________________________________
From 0 to 2, velocity was NEGATIVE and acceleration was NEGATIVE. Since they're both in
the same direction, the calc was SPEEDING UP!

CHECK YOUR WORK:

Find avg velocity and acceleration by doing old slope!
vavg = (s(2) - s(0)) / (2 - 0) = -32 ft/s
aavg = (v(2) - v(0)) / (2 - 0) = -32 ft/s^2

OF COURSE IT WAS DUMB TO DROP YOUR CALCULATOR OFF A BUILDING!
