Slopes of Displacement FunctionsThe slope of a function is equal to the rate of change of that function:
dx
dySlope = rate of change =
Let f(t) be a function that describes how far an object is from its starting point (displacement)

Freefall and Derivatives• A penny is dropped off the top of the Eiffel Tower (972
ft). When it hits the ground, how fast is it traveling?

Freefall and Derivatives• A penny is thrown straight up off the top of the Eiffel
Tower (972 ft). It initial speed is 64 feet per second. When it hits the ground, how fast is it traveling?

Freefall and Derivatives• A penny is thrown straight down off the top of the Eiffel
Tower (972 ft). It initial speed is 64 feet per second. When it hits the ground, how fast is it traveling?

A person on ground level throws an object upwards such that the height, h, in feet at time t, in seconds, is given by h(t) = -16t2 + 68t.
a. Find the velocity and acceleration.b. Determine the displacement over the interval
[1, 4].c. Determine the average velocity over the
interval [1, 4].d. Determine when the object hits the ground.e. Find the velocity and acceleration of the object
at the time it hits the ground.

Particle Motion Problems• Atomic particle are subject to many different forces besides
gravity. Therefore, the motion of a particle can take a multitude of forms. To limit the possibilities, we will only deal with particles that travel forward & backward on a line.
Example:
A particle is moving along a line. The position of the particle can be described by the equation:
