We learned that the steeper the slope, like driving down a steep hill, the faster you go due to less drag?? so the car goes faster down a hill, and you do not have to apply gas as much gas on a steeper hill as a flatter hill to get going.

We also learned that if the position time graph of a disc is going up, that only means the meter stick started with zero on top and ended with 99 cm at the bottom. When linearized, the y-intercept is still the initial position of the disc. As for the slope, the original unlinearized one is acceleration, but the linearized one is completely different since it is position to time^2]]> 2017-12-19 14:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_davenport/4vyu0e1ru9c1/wish/217244379
