Example Question #241 : Spatial Calculus
The position of a particle is given by the function . What is the particle's velocity at time ?
Velocity of a particle can be found by taking the derivative of the position function with respect to time. Recall that a derivative gives the rate of change of some parameter, relative to the change of some other variable. When we take the derivative of position with respect to time, we are evaluating how position changes over time; i.e velocity!
