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.
