Rectilinear Motion - Finding the Velocity and Total Distance Given the Particle Position Function

Learn how to find velocity and total distance from a particle's position function in this 10-minute calculus tutorial. Master the fundamental concepts of rectilinear motion by working through step-by-step examples that demonstrate how to differentiate position functions to obtain velocity and how to calculate total distance traveled by a particle moving along a straight line. Explore the relationship between position, velocity, and distance in one-dimensional motion problems, and develop problem-solving techniques essential for calculus applications in physics and engineering.
