AP Calculus AB Flashcards: Connecting Position Velocity And Acceleration

Study Connecting Position Velocity And Acceleration in AP Calculus AB with focused flashcards that help you recognize the idea, recall the key rule, and apply it in practice-style prompts.

QUESTION

Determine if the particle is speeding up or slowing down at t=1t = 1 given v(t)=t24tv(t)= t^2 - 4t and a(t)=2t4a(t) = 2t - 4.

ANSWER

Speeding up at t=1t = 1. v(1)=3<0v(1) = -3 < 0 and a(1)=2<0a(1) = -2 < 0, same signs means speeding up.
