Can you be a bit more specific in what didn’t make sense?

Go back over the previous video and calculate the slope of the graph as Rick explains it. Just give it a go for both what he explains and then the second one where he pauses for you to go do it. I’m still somewhat foggy on it but get the jist of it. All you have to do though is get a rough grasp of the calculation and you’ll see that in this video if you raise any rate of change of acceleration (which is velocity) with whatever is on the horizontal axis you’ll see that slope value will be either lower than or less than what is on the vertical axis at that same height. But e somehow magically seems to equal it.
