Monday 9-21-09 Acceleration

1 comment:

  1. Acceleration
    def- any change in velocity
    units- meter per second
    equation- acceleration=change in velocity divided by time


    We were giving a table were we compared time and velocity.

    Everything that falls has to accelerate.
    Fall=acceleration(gravity)
    All objects fall at the same acceleration


    What is the value of acceleration for a falling object?
    g=10 meters per second squared



    How fast is an object falling after 3 seconds?

    1. Identify Concepts
    Speed Velocity Gravity

    2. Identify Units
    t=3s g=10 meters per second squared

    3. Write Symbols
    v,g,t

    4. Find an equation
    V=g(t)

    5. Plug and Chug
    V=30m/s


    Question
    1. How far is an object falling after 3 seconds?
