whats your best guess ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we use below : \[\large a = v' = s''\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

acceleration is derivative of velocity velocity is derivative of position

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(ii) , (iii) and (i) are position, velocity and acceleration respectively.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats a good guess, but it wont work if ii is the position, then iii has to become 0 at the turning point of ii

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

but iii is always negative and decreasing, eh ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so iii cannot be derivative of ii
