Free Fall

Mon. Oct. 3 (A and D) and Tuesday, Oct. 4 (B and C)

We started the class talking about falling pumpkins with this opener: 
A pumpkin is dropped from a height of 125 meters off a cliff and accelerates toward the earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s/s. Use the graph paper to draw as many motion graphs as you can with the correct scales on the axes. Assume down is negative.

We then discussed general free-fall motion with this set of notes.

Finally, students learned about how to use the kinematic equations of motion either through a video (link), or direct presentation.

The next homework assignment is listed on the section tab.
