1.6 - Acceleration Due to Gravity

Students will be able to:

• Applying UAM equations to objects under the influence of gravity to solve related kinematics problems

• Maintain discussions about the causes and effects of acceleration due to gravity, including the constant nature of the acceleration and its changes to the object's velocity

1. Start by watching the "Misconceptions about Falling Objects" video from Veritasium 

2. Watch the Free-Fall and Acceleration due to Gravity video from Flipping Physics

3. Finally, watch my notes video for 1.6 and copy them into your own notes.

4. (Optional) Watch the video from BBC about things falling freely in a vaccuum.

5. Attempt problem set 1.6. 

6. Check your answers against the answer key provided for problem set 1.6. Submit your work for grading.
