Motion Day 8

SWBAT calculate the velocity and acceleration of objects in the classroom.

1. Penny drop video


2. Manga Guide to Physics- Force and Motion
3. Velocity/Acceleration Lab w/ Golf Ball and Hot Wheels
4. Analyze results and Conclusion
5. Mixed Acceleration and Velocity review problems

TEST ON FRIDAY 9/17!

On friday we'll have our first test!  Are you ready?  Here are the things you will be tested on:

- v=d/t
- a= change in velocity/time
- distance time graphs

Resources to help you study:
