Examples of Derived Curves

Velocity Curve

Let $y = \map f x$ be locus of a curve representing distance with respect to time.

The derived curve $y = \map {f'} x$ then represents velocity with respect to time.


Acceleration Curve

Let $y = \map f x$ be locus of a curve representing velocity with respect to time.

The derived curve $y = \map {f'} x$ then represents acceleration with respect to time.
