Explore parametric equations in this lesson, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path of objects in...

Take an abbreviated look at the exam. Class members review released items to prepare for the BC exam. The released questions are the six free-response questions from the 2001 exam. Three of the items have context, while the other three...

In this distance worksheet, students determine the distance between two objects, find the average velocity of an object, and define instantaneous velocity. This two-page worksheet contains six two-step problems.

Students see that light and heavy objects fall at the same rate, as established experimentally by Galileo. They see that falling objects, and balls rolling down an incline, tend to accelerate at a constant rate a. Their velocity...

In this symbols worksheet, students read about how different symbols are used to represent variables or constants in equations. Then students complete 3 problems.

Middle schoolers investigate how weight affects a parachute's rate of fall.  In this investigative lesson plan students test parachutes, average results and conclude what makes a faster descent.

High schoolers solve quadratic functions. In this solving quadratic functions lesson, students determine the height of an object at a given time. High schoolers determine the time at which an object hits the ground. Students answer...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve for the square root and calculate and solve roots. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

When you work with equations that show position, velocity, acceleration of objects that are flying or falling through the air, you will be using the constant that is the acceleration due to gravity. View formulas, explanations, and...

Using the free-fall constants and gravity acceleration equations, we can determine many things about the position, velocity, and speed of a projectile. Here are a few examples and explanations. This is a great review for the AP Calculus...
