In later notes, you will learn about the [[183_notes:constantf|special case of constant force motion]] -- in that case, the length of the time interval will not matter. But for all other cases you will work with (e.g., [[183_notes:gravitation|gravitational interactions]], [[183_notes:springmotion|spring-like interactions]]), the length of the time interval absolutely matters.
