Garfield Explains Free Fall


(click comic to enlarge)
I used Professor Garfield's Comic Lab:

Then to edit text I used photoshop elements.
I edited the formulas because on the Comic Lab the symbols would apear as: □ (boxes)

  2. Also, please check your vf equation as it shows time but it should be height.
    Remember to clarify the difference between speed and velocity!

  11. I think frame 12 has an incorrect value for the ending velocity, due to not taking the square root of 29.4. This then would change the time of fall from a height of 1.5m to about half a second.
