Unit 4 part 1

Today we began unit 4. the first part of unit 4 has been basically about how far objects travel when traveling along the x axis at a constant velocity. We learned that the x and y axes are completely independence from each other disregarding time. For example, my picture was of when Mr. Blake explained that when a pen is dropped and a pen is thrown horizontally, gravity has the same acceleration on both objects meaning that they would hit the ground at the same time but land in different places. Using this information, we then learned how to predict about where something would land depending on things like height from the ground, initial velocity, etc using the equations we leaned in the previous unit.

  1. Good summarization of all the stuff we covered in class, and good clarification of the Vegas rule and what it means.
