Suppose we need instantaneous velocity, but don’t have a graph?
§ Suppose instead, we have a function for the motion of the particle.
§ Suppose the particle follows motion described by something like
§ x = (-4 + 3t) m§ x = (-4 + 3t) m§ x = (1.0 + 2.0t – ½ 3 t2) m§ x = -12t3
§ We could graph the function and take tangent lines to determine the velocity at various points, or…
§ We can use differential calculus.

Final note: Free Fall
§ Free fall means that an object is moving under the influence of gravity, with gravity being the only force on the object.
§ Gravity accelerates the object toward the earth the entire time it rises, and the entire time it falls.entire time it rises, and the entire time it falls.
§ The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the earth has a magnitude of 9.8 m/s2. The direction of this acceleration is DOWN.
§ Air resistance is ignored.
