Describe exactly how physics and derivatives relate and how to determine when an object is slowing down or speeding up.
s'(t) = v(t), v'(t) = a(t)
when a(t) and v(t) have opposite signs then slow down, vice versa.
What points do you have to test to find the absolute/local minima?
Critical points (when derivative is 0, DNE), end points
