Today we started class by discussing constant velocity and constant acceleration. The equation for constant velocity is X(T)=VT+Xo. Constant velocity is an object moving at a constant speed and direction. The equation for constant acceleration is Xf(T)=Xo+ViT+1/2AT^2. Constant acceleration is when an object's velocity is moving at a constant rate.
After we discussed constant velocity and acceleration, we divided up into groups and made constant position vs. time graphs and constant velocity vs. time graphs.
At the end of class, we worked on our motion detector lab. For homework, we are supposed to finish Homework 2B and work on Homework 2C. This homework has to do with measuring velocity and acceleration. The scribe for Tuesday is...Paxton.

nice post eliza. A couple of points. I'm still willing to award mad propz to the person who figures out how to put equations into blog posts nicely...
Second, when writing out equations, it is very important to specify what we are talking about. So instead of calling it the "equation for constant acceleration", it is the position as a function of time for an object moving with constant acceleration. Slight wording change, but big difference.
