3.2.5 Differentiate position and velocity (A-level only)

What does s<0s<0s<0 indicate about a particle's position?

A

Speed is the magnitude of velocity: speed=∣v∣\boxed{\text{speed}=|v|}speed=∣v∣​. A particle is stationary when v(t)=0v(t)=0v(t)=0.

B

a(t)=24t−6a(t)=24t-6a(t)=24t−6

C

Its speed increases.

D

It is on the negative side of the origin.
