Displacement, Velocity & Acceleration: Where Calculus Enters

Velocity is the slope of position; acceleration is the slope of velocity; run it backwards and displacement is the area under the curve. Watch a secant collapse into a tangent, differentiate the lesson’s own polynomial, and catch the classic trap: the highest point on x(t) is where the motion is slowest.
