Physics 30 - Feb 3

Today in class we finished up our notes on the kinematics review.  I then introduced the kinematic equations to students and we went through examples 3 - 6. The kinematic equations apply in situations where an object is undergoing constant acceleration.  The notes were all taken from slides 13-21. Students were assigned Assignments 1.1 and 1.2, however they do not have textbooks yet to do these questions.  Students can access the pdf version of the textbook found in the Physics 30 course notes link if they want to get started on the questions.  I will handout textbooks next week after schedule changes end. Tomorrow we will be doing a particularly difficult type of kinematic problem called a twin object problem.
