1. 5.3: Position, Velocity and Acceleration

2. Warm-up (Remember Physics) m sec Find the velocity at t=2.

3. Is speed the same as velocity? What does a negative and positive velocity mean? So what is the slope (derivative) of position? velocity

4. 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=

5. What is the slope (derivative) of velocity? acceleration What does a negative and positive velocity mean?

6. Do you think there is a derivative of acceleration?

7. 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

8. 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.
