    the displacement y of the stone? | The stone‚ starting with zero velocity at the top of the building‚ is accelerated downward by gravity. | | Reasoning  The upward direction is chosen as the positive direction. The initial velocity v0 of the stone is zero‚ because the stone is dropped from rest. The acceleration due to gravity is negative‚ since it points downward in the negative direction.  Solution | 2). After 3.00 s of free-fall‚ what is the velocity v of the stone? Solution 1). A football game

    INTRODUCTION A container terminal is a facility where cargo containers are transshipped between different transport vehicles‚ for onward transportation. The transshipment may be between ships and land vehicles‚ for example trains or trucks‚ in which case the terminal is described as a maritime container terminal. Alternatively the transshipment may be between land vehicles‚ typically between train and truck‚ in which case the terminal is described as an inland container terminal. Maritime container

    motion of objects without considering the effects that produce the motion. This experiment will show how to determine the linear motion with constant (uniform) velocity particularly the dynamic cart and linear motion with constant (uniform) acceleration‚ (e.g. free fall of motion). At the end of the experiment we found out that the velocity is a speed that involves direction of an object as well as the time. While for the acceleration‚ it is directly proportional to the distance or height but inversely
