TEXTBOOK:  Chapter 2, pages 50 - 65.

OBJECTIVES:

• Derive and use the five motion formulas to solve problems.

• Learn to use an organized strategy for solving motion problems.

• Measure and record data of the motion of a freely falling object and determine the acceleration due to gravity, using a velocity-time graph.

• State the value for the acceleration due to gravity of a freely falling object near the surface of the Earth.

• Mentally find the speed and determine the distance fallen for a falling object if given the time of fall.

• Solve problems involving free-fall. 

• View a multimedia presentation on accelerated motion to appreciate the historical and practical effects of accelerated motion .

• Describe the motion of an object, in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration, thrown straight up until it hits the ground, given that air resistance is negligible.
