Physics update 10/22 and homework due 10/29

Hi folks,

Today we dove a bit deeper into the realm of 2 dimensional motion and I introduced vectors as we worked on understanding projectile motion.  

Homework for this week is to:

Read pgs. 28 - 39 in the text book.

Do "Plug and Chug" questions on page 41 #'s 1-5

Do all 6 of the "Think and Solve" questions on page 42 of the Conceptual Physics book.

Calculate the instantaneous velocity of a falling ball for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 seconds.

Calculate the distance a falling ball goes in 1,2,3,4, and 5 seconds.

Using the above calculations, create 3 graphs.  

Distance vs. time for the falling ball

Velocity vs. time for the falling ball

Acceleration vs. time for the falling ball.
