9/29 Clyde

Today, we turned in our answers to the Kinematics Test Review. We didn't have to turn in the question sheets if we didn't write on them, but we did have to remember to staple the graph descriptions to our review packets.

Then...

We took a test.

And that's it.

I'm not allowed to talk about the test, because the information on it is super-duper top secret, but I'd say that as long as you studied and did the review worksheet, you should probably be fine on the test. There was no homework assigned for tonight.

QOD: Acceleration is measured in units of meters per second squared.  What do those units even mean?

To my understanding, these units of meters per second squared mean that the object in motion speeds up or slows down a certain number of meters per second, per second. That is to say, the number of meters per second squared represents the change in velocity (m/s) per second, a positive number of units showing that the object is speeding up, and a negative number showing that the object is slowing down.
