TEXTBOOK:  Chapter 2, Section 2.6 – 2.7, pages 35 - 43.

OBJECTIVES:

• Perform experiments in which data is collected on position vs time for various types of motion.

• Graph data and rearrange that data if necessary by using a computer (or graphing calculator) to obtain a linear relationship and then write an equation for that relationship.

• Describe the operation of a Video Cassette Recorder.

• Solve problems using an orderly, systematic approach.

• Write and use the five equations of uniformly accelerated motion to solve problems.

• Define 'free-fall'.

• Determine the value of 'g' by using video technology to collect data and by using a computer (graphing calculator) to analyze the data.

• Determine the speed and distance fallen at any time after an object is dropped from rest, given that air resistance is negligible.

• Solve free-fall motion problems.

• 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.
