Worksheet; Notes on Acceleration; “Acceleration
Problems” Worksheet. Read pages 48 to 58. Worksheets
And lab reports due Monday.
Important Information about the Accelerations Problems
Worksheet: For the last three questions use -9.8 m/s² as
the value of acceleration. When an object is falling (free-
fall) it gains speed in the downward direction at a rate of
9.8 m/s each second. As long as we disregard air
resistance this is the rate of acceleration for any object
near the surface of the earth. Any object.
