Make a diagram of the physical situation
Sketch a graph showing the motion - usually a velocity-time graph
Decide if the motion is constant velocity or accelerating
Remember the key idea:
Displacement = average velocity x time
5. If you haven't yet solved the problem, try an equation !
Free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it.
Notice that an object can be considered to be free falling even if it is moving upwards.
Neglecting air-resistance all objects have a vertical acceleration of g
How can you tell the ball to the right is accelerating?
Estimate the acceleration of the ball given that the scale measures in centimeters and the camera took 20 pictures per second.
