I'm glad yours did, my drivers ed course was a joke. My friend didn't even know how to turn her highbeams on after she got her license. I was very dissapointed.

I see. Thank you. We just started learning Ep and Ek this week actually so that didn't even occur to me. I want to be a physicist when I graduate and I like thinking of these types of questions that really make me think.

The rate of acceleration. If the Vi stays 0, and the acceleration is assuned as 9.8m/s^2 because I am on Earth, why would the Vf for 2meters not be divisible by 2 for the Vf for 1m?

The assumption was the rate is constant and therefor directly proportional. It is invalid, but why? It would makes sense for it to be in my head from what I have learned previously in math.

Because algebraically nothing changed but an independent variable. Thinking about this though, if I imagine a graph, I would imagine the line to be one similar to a quadratic equation graphed. I'm not sure if that plays into this however.

<Moderator's note: Moved from a technical forum and thus no template.> Hi, I am a junior in high school and future physicist. I have a problem (I am very curious) and would like for it to be solved as I CAN NOT figure this out! I was thinking about an object being dropped from rest from my...
