The acceleration will always be constant in the limit of infinitesimally small time intervals. By the fundamental definition of calculus, the above expression, in the limit of infinitesimally small time intervals, becomes the derivative of the position function. Thus, v(t), the velocity of the object at every time, t, is defined to be the derivative of the position function, r(t).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-399\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2146\/2017\/06\/25180714\/b2b2-300x164.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" \/>\r\n<h3>Acceleration<\/h3>\r\nOur original definition of acceleration,\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-400\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2146\/2017\/06\/25180716\/c3c3-300x129.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"129\" \/>\r\n\r\nalso remains valid only in the limit of infinitesimally small time intervals. By the fundamental definition of calculus, the above expression, in the limit of infinitesimally small time intervals, becomes the derivative of the velocity function.

On the other hand, if the acceleration of the object is known as a function of time, the velocity and position functions can be constructed through anti-differentiation, or integration, of a(t).\r\n\r\nAn important distinction, however, is that when integrating a(t) to form v(t), an arbitrary constant will be introduced into the expression for v(t). This constant can often be determined from knowledge of the object\u2019s velocity at some specific instant in time. Another integration, to form r(t), will introduce an additional arbitrary constant that can often be determined from knowledge of the object\u2019s position at some specific instant in time.\r\n\r\nIn closing, please remember that the kinematic relations that have been used throughout this course were derived assuming a constant acceleration. If the acceleration is not constant, those relations are <em>incorrect<\/em>, and the correct kinematic relationships <em>must<\/em> be determined through direct integration and differentiation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Analysis Tools<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Using the Calculus<\/h3>\r\nInvestigate the scenario described below.\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In a 100 m dash, detailed video analysis indicates that a particular sprinter\u2019s speed can be modeled as a quadratic function of time at the beginning of the race, reaching 10.6 m\/s in 2.70 s, and as a decreasing linear function of time for the remainder of the race.

In a previous Model, we used inclined coordinates for situations involving objects moving on an inclined surface. For an object moving in a circle, it\u2019s almost as if the surface upon which the object moves is continually changing its angle of incline! Perhaps we should use a coordinate system in which the orientation of the system continually changes, always keeping one axis parallel and one axis perpendicular to the motion.
