"See explanation"

Explanation:

a = {dv}/dt

"So acceleration (a) is the derivative of the velocity v with respect"
"to the time t."

"v = {dx}/dt

"So velocity is the derivative of the position x and can be negative!"
"Velocity can also be a vector with a direction."

"Speed is like velocity but is always positive, so it can be seen"
"as the absolute value of velocity :"
"In the case of a velocity vector, speed is the norm of v."

s = | v |
