    Derivation of Instantaneous Velocity

    Ah, again, thank you. In hindsight, this was such an obvious oversight on my part.

    Derivation of Instantaneous Velocity

    Hmm... Taking a second look, I'm not sure we're on the same page. The '6t' should represent (6m/s^2), not just the '6', so it should be (6m/s^2) not (6m/s^2)*t, right? Or am I still missing something? I apologize for such a protracted conversation about something as simple as the units.

    Derivation of Instantaneous Velocity

    Ah, thank you, I was unsure of how to handle the units and being in only ninth grade I wasn't so sure about calling out a university level physics book on a mistake.

    Derivation of Instantaneous Velocity

    Find the instantaneous velocity where r is the position vector as a function of time: r(t)=(3.0m/s^2)t\hat{x}+(4.0m/s)t\hat{y} I attempted to find the derivative of this to find instantaneous velocity, but the book's solution was different. I think the author of the book may have made a...
