Velocity+and+Acceleration

Read through sections 2.1 - 2.3 in your text book. Notice on page 31, Tip 2.5, we have our first example of something we partially learned in PreAP Physics that wasn't complete. We are going to see __a lot__ of this.

Watch this video describing the differences in calculating average speed or velocity. It is not the calculation part that is important - the main thing I want you to see is the way the different terms are denoted and what they mean (about the first 6 minutes). This method of denotation is a little different than what we did in PreAP Physics and we need to start getting used to seeing it this way. []

This video shows the calculation of the acceleration of a jet taking off from an aircraft carrier. Again, mostly I want you to see the way the problems are set up and the way the terms are used. This is also a very good example of the type of equation derivation you will be doing. The important section starts at about 4 min. []

This is a short video about acceleration around a curve. []
