Short Answer Response: Kinematics Assignment

The laboratory exercise for this chapter addresses kinematic motion. You have experienced these motions in everyday life.Instead of a discussion requiring posts in a thread, this assignment has been modified to accept your response to the following questions in this assignment. Be sure to clearly address each of the points below and show all of your work.

• What is the difference between acceleration and velocity?
• Show the kinematic equation for an object in free-fall. Be sure to define each of the variables.
• Write the original due date of this assignment for this term: Month and Day (For example, July 15 would be Month = 7, Day = 15)
• For a building having a height equal to the twice the quantity you have recorded for Day in meters (in our example of July 15, this would be 2x15 = 30 meters), compute the time required for the ball to fall to the ground while experiencing acceleration due to gravity (g=9.8m/s2).Show all work.
• How fast was the ball traveling when it hit the ground? Show your work.
