Texas Gateway: Kinematics: Falling Objects

Falling objects can be brutal if you don't protect your noodle! Scholars explore the motion of falling objects through measuring short intervals to determine if the distance traveled varies with time. Building off of this, scholars...

This is a summary of the main topics for AP Physics Chapter 2 Kinematics. These include Displacement; Vectors, Scalars, and Coordinate Systems; Time, Velocity, and Speed; Acceleration; Motion Equations for Constant Acceleration in One...
