Distance/Speed/Acceleration (Leaving Cert Mathematics): Flashcards

Rate of change of distance with respect to time

Rate of change of velocity with respect to time

Position of object relative to reference point at time $t$

First derivative of distance: $v = s'$

First derivative of velocity: $a = v'$

Second derivative of distance: $a = s''$

How fast an object's position is changing

How fast an object's velocity is changing
