Because calculus is lots of fun! Also because it is useful in science and engineering.
Gravity is a force, which means that it has a corresponding acceleration (rate of rate of change). Because calculus is the study of rates of change, accelerations are studied in calculus.
An entire school year. They took AP Calculus in their senior year.
6th graders do not usually study calculus. They usually take arithmetic or other basic math classes.
You can fail calculus like any other school subject...you can not study for exams, not do the homework, not understand the course, disturb the class...the possibilities are endless.
In the 'real world', the purpose of a course of study in pre-calculus is to prepare the student for a course of study in Calculus.

Rates of change
The liberal arts majors do not usually require calculus
Yes calculus is a type of math that deals with the study of continuously changing quantities.

Calculus is the study of instantaneous and cumulitive growths of functions with respect to two or more variables. Trigonometry is the study of angles, specifically in triangles.

Many, many people have added to calculus, but Newton is generally recognized as having started the western study into it.

Simple answer: Calculus involves derivation and integration, precal doesn't. Pre calculus gives you some of the algebraic, geometric and trigonometric understanding that is required to comprehend the concepts in calculus. Without the knowledge from precal, calculus would not be easily understood, as it is taught in schools today.
Yes; in a larger view of calculus (small stones used for counting) it deals with the abstract aspects of various mathematics, usually functions and limits, Calculus is the study of change.
