Early Childhood Developmental Milestones

Recognizing early childhood developmental milestones in the five capacities (cognitive, communication, social-emotional, adaptive, and physical development) is important for any person who will be working with children. Reminder: Children are individuals. This information is a generally accepted guide of expected development, but some infants may progress faster or slower.

  • Basic properties of vectors, acceleration, time, and velocity

    v=dx/dt=8t-9t2. When t=0, v=0 m/s; when t=2, a=-20 m/s. Therefore, average velocity between t=(0,2) is (-20-0)/(2-0)=-10 (m/s). The answer is C. 17. Since a=dv/dt, if velocity is constant, acceleration must be zero.
