(#45 is challenging. If you get stuck, do the other problems and then come back to it.)
By the end of this unit, you will be able to:
Explain the similarities and differences between position, speed, velocity, and acceleration
Identify the units of these quantities
Make and interpret graphs of these quantities as a function of time
Analyze whether or not an object is in free fall, as well as whether or not an object is accelerating
Solve linear motion problems using kinematics equations
Over the course of this unit, you will:
Measure the rate of acceleration due to Earth’s gravity
Calculate your own reaction time and hang time
