1 Science Starter! Review for Quiz 2!

2 After the Quiz…. A frustrated student drops a book out of a window that is 18 m above the ground. A curious student below notices that it takes 1.92 s for the book to reach the ground. (a) Draw and label a diagram of the scenario, and identify all variables. (b) Determine the acceleration of the book, rounding to one decimal place, assuming it was dropped with zero initial velocity.

4 Free Fall Section 3.3

5 “Terminal Velocity” Listen for and record the following information: 1.‘Fall Time’ 2.‘Fall Distance’

6 Determine: (a) The fall distance in meters. (b) The acceleration of the rider (m/s 2 )

7 Free-Fall -Object starts at rest (v o = 0 m/s) - In equations, “y” is used for distance (not “x”). -Object falls solely under the influence of gravity (Resistive forces of air resistance are ignored) Acceleration due to gravity: a g = - 9.8 m/s 2 “g” = 9.8 m/s 2

8 Galileo Galilee Father of Modern Science Refuted Aristotle’s “Natural Motion” theory Supported Copernicus’ heliocentric model of the solar system A brief biography...

9 Does ‘weight’ matter?
