REFLECTION

Do you understand the difference between distance and displacement? Do you understand the difference between speed and velocity? Are you confident using the equations of kinematics? Do you know what information a graph of position versus time gives? Do you know what information a graph of velocity versus time gives? Can you explain why a body reaches terminal speed if it is acted upon by a speed dependent resistance force? Do you understand how to solve problems with projectile motion? Can you describe the effect of air resistance on the path of a projectile?
