Summary of Quarter 2

Units 4 through 6 were focused more on motion in the real world, situations we encounter in our every day lives. In Unit 4 we learned about projectile motion, which is motion in the horizontal direction as well as the vertical direction simultaneously. In Unit 5, we learned about forces in equilibrium, which are the forces acting upon objects that are either stationary or moving at a constant velocity. In the next unit, Unit 6, we furthered our learning about forces, but this time we learned about forces that accelerate. (Newton's 2^nd Law of motion) This was more complicated than the last unit because this time we were learning about the forces acting upon objects that are accelerating. These three units collectively have helped me to understand motion in a real-world, practical way.
