Question from Yen: The motion of a stone projected upward is given by the relation s=112t - 16t^2. |
Hi Yen,
if the variable $s$ is displacement and $t$ is time, which I expect they are then you know that
\[\frac{ds}{dt} = v(t) \mbox{ and } \frac{dv}{dt} = a(t)\]
where $v(t)$ is velocity at time $t$ and $a(t)$ is the acceleration at tome $t.$
