The only thing ~ rather than using a negative number, we will just change the direction (north -> to south).

A help video in how to calculate acceleration. The one difference, when it is a negative (-) acceleration ~ we will reverse the direction of the acceleration! (example: from north to south / or from east to west). REMEMBER that acceleration is a rate of CHANGE in velocity (which includes a direction). If it's a CONSTANT velocity, there is NO acceleration. Remember the example of running on a treadmill.

This is really more about geometry, but I HAD to add it somewhere on our website! I think it ties in well to physists ideas of "beauty" in physics and the search for a "uinified law" of physics that we will be discussing over the course of the semester.

OK ~ This is one thing that is not adressed in this module (but the next) that is helpful in understanding misconceptions about free fall. However, you cannot understand this without understanding "inertia" (you need to know this anyway for next module). So, watch this one, then go on to the next video for a real head scratcher :)
