Learning objective
Derive and apply the equations of uniform and uniformly accelerated straight-line motion.
Learn to plot and read the graphs $x(t)$, $v(t)$, $a(t)$.
Master problems on free fall and vertical throws.
Learn to find velocity and position for variable acceleration by integration.
Expected outcomes
Calculates the velocity and position at any time from the equations of motion.
Uses $v^2 - v_0^2 = 2as$ in braking and acceleration problems.
Reads velocity (slope), displacement (area) and acceleration from graphs.
Finds the time and place where two bodies meet.
