Reading Assignment: Chapter 6 of Tippens.


We continue our review of the video seen in the last lecture, `The Law of Falling Bodies', from the Mechanical Universe series. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Before going on to investigating graphs of position and velotiy versus time, we continue to discuss using Galileo's 4th Kinematical Equation to help understand motion of falling bodies and to make predictions about falling bodies:
x(t) = x0 + v0t + at^2/2
We end today's class with a questionnaire.
