Modeling Linear Motion with Equations

Sometimes, it is important to use models to understand patterns and equations in physics. In this topic, you will learn how to use equations to model position and velocity during motion with constant acceleration. Your knowledge of functions will be combined with your experience with motion to learn how to solve problems involving accelerated motion.

Essential Questions:

• How can math be used to describe motion?
• How can math be used to solve problems where velocity changes steadily?
