A little later, which is t+Δt.
-
So Δt is going to stand always for a small finite integral of time;
-
infinitesimal interval of time not yet 0.
-
So, during that time, the particle has gone from here to there,
-
that is x+Δx,
-
and the average velocity in that interval is Δx/Δt.
-
Graphically, this guy is Δx
-
and this guy is Δt, and Δx/Δt is a ratio.
-
So in calculus, what you want to do
-
is to get the notion of the velocity right now.
-
We all have an intuitive notion of velocity right now.
