"Speeding Up"

Image
     Over the past few classes, we have discussed about speeding up graphs and the equations that go along with it. So far I can conclude(?)... 1. Speeding up graphs are quadratic graphs 2.   m=  m/s^2   s^2 +  m/s   s+  m      means... m= speeding up + average velocity? + starting position 3. m/s= m/s^2 s + m/s     means... m= speeding up + starting velocity     #3 EQUATION 1st TERM=                                                                                                                                               ACCELERATION RATE 4. P=0.365t^2-0.132t-0.127     V=0.740t-0.143     The 1st two terms match ( 0.365t^2 and  0.740t)      The two 2nd terms match ( -0.132t and  -0.143) 5. Speeding up= change of velocity/ time Questions: What does the second term of the speeding up equation mean? Is it average velocity? Is there a "maximum acceleration"? (a point where the object cannot accelerate any more) More: Magic Tria
