Velocity? Where?!

In order to succed in a physics course, one must understand the concept of velocity. It is extremely important to understand what velocity is because it is used in almost all aspects of physics. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object. In more specific terms: Velocity is the rate at which an object changes it's position. Velocity can sometimes be very difficult to understand because it is used in so many components of physics. It can be used to find many different ideas. In our physics class, we first came across velocity in the beginning of our kinematics unit. We use velocity to find acceleration. Velocity can also be used when working with vectors and projectile motion. I created a comic using Pixton to help illustrate velocity and what is means. I also have a "Tagxedo" with all of the most important terms from our unit.
My comic is shown below:

  2. The plot you chose for your comic is excellent. The fact that you included the entire Honors Physics class, alongside Mrs. Gende, is even better! Other than a few grammar and sentence errors here and there, your explanation of velocity is easy for the reader to understand. Stellar job, Nicole!

  3. You did a fantastic job with your posting!
    The introduction is very clear and makes the reader interested in the content.
    Your Tagxedo is very creative, it is a cat isn't it? Love it even better:)
    Your comic strip is definitely original and creative. Great sense of humor!
