Driving, position, velocity and acceleration are all related topics. In this pencast I relate these concepts to each other, providing a unique physical example of the concept of a second derivative.

I am taking general physics 1 concurrently with Calculus 1 and have seen the crossover between classes all semester. Although we did go through this same situation in physics, I did not get as much out of that explanation as I did by watching this pencast. Thank you!
This pencast was very easy to follow and made a lot of sense. However, the speaker seemed to start rambling a bit. He made the main point at around the 15 minute mark and I felt like he repeated it toward the end.
