4.8
10
8.3

6.0
Compute the value of acceleration (rate of change of velocity) at time t=10 using the forward-difference method. Report your answer correctly to
two decimal places (with an appropriate + or - sign).
An object is dropped from rest and takes 2.25 seconds to reach the ground below. From what distance above the ground was it dropped? State this as a positive number and assume it has proper SI Units.
Give a few examples of some scalar quantities you use on a daily basis.
