Problem

For a differentiable position function s(t)s(t), what does the slope of the graph of ss versus tt represent? (a) The particle’s instantaneous speed (b) The particle’s average velocity over the interval [t,t+Δt][t,t+\Delta t] for a small Δt\Delta t (c) The particle’s instantaneous velocity (d) The particle’s average velocity from time 00 to tt
