Unit 3 Uniform Acceleration

In class today, we went over acceleration. Acceleration is change is velocity over time or meters of seconds squared. We also learned three important equations: 
d=1/2at^2
V=Vo+at
V^2=Vo^2+2ad
These equations are used for different problems involving acceleration. These equations are also known as Dat, Vat, and Vad. Each equation is used for different problem depending on what you are looking for.
In this picture, I am riding on a skateboard down my driveway. My drive way is slanted letting me roll down. In class we rode down the small slope in front of Bingum Hall to show acceleration. Like when rolling down the slope at Bingum, my driveway lets me accelerate downwards.

  1. Nice picture and good job doing the demonstration. You did a good job writing down all the equations and explaining them !
