Lesson #79 Rectilinear Motion

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. Example
     Nolan Ryan, one of the fastest pitchers of all-time,
     could throw a baseball 150 ft/sec (over 102 mph).
     Could Nolan Ryan hit the 208-ft ceiling of the Houston
     Astrodome if he were capable of giving a baseball an 
     upward velocity of 100 ft/sec from a height of 7 feet?

     Solution:
