Quote of the Day: "In the beginning (if there was such a thing), God created Newton’s laws of motion together with the necessary masses and forces. This is all; everything beyond this follows from the development of appropriate mathematics methods by means of deduction." -- Albert Einstein Objectives: The student will learn to solve problems involving velocity and acceleration. 1. Collect Homework – go over some homework problems. 2. From physics, we have studied the formula for free fall motion:
3. Example
Nolan Ryan, one of the fastest pitchers of all-time,
could throw a baseball 150 ft/sec (over 102 mph).
Could Nolan Ryan hit the 208-ft ceiling of the Houston
Astrodome if he were capable of giving a baseball an
upward velocity of 100 ft/sec from a height of 7 feet?
