s(t) represents:

position

2
New cards

s′(t) or v(t) represents:

velocity

3
New cards

s′′(t) or v′(t) or a(t) represents:

acceleration

4
New cards

Velocity is generally measured in

m/s

5
New cards

acceleration in

m/s^2

6
New cards

What quantity is acceleration, displacement and velocity?

vector quantites

7
New cards

What quantity is speed?

scalar quantities

8
New cards

Moving to the right:

v(t) > 0

9
New cards

Stationary:

v(t) = 0

10
New cards

Moving to the left:

v(t) < 0

11
New cards

when v(t) and a(t) work together, we…

accelerate

12
New cards

v(t) x a(t) > 0

accelerating

13
New cards

v(t) x a(t) < 0

deaccelerating

What can we find using the second derivate?

the instantaneous rate of change of velocity (acceleration).
