What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station.

By the end of this short course, you will be able to:

• Use negatives and opposites
• Simplify: expressions with absolute value
• Add integers
• Subtract integers

This course covers how to add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers.

Part 1: Adding integers
Part 2: Examples of adding integers
Part 3: Common mistakes made when adding integers

Outcomes

In this lesson you will learn how to:

1. Identify and write algebraic expressions.
2. Recognise and work with like and unlike terms.
3. Simplify algebraic expressions.
4. Solve linear equations.

Applying Newton's first law to answer some true/false statements about why objects move (or not).

Solving a word problem to find average velocity and speed of an object in one-dimension.

In this unit you will apply your understanding of the components of motion in one dimension using linear equations. This will help you to solve problems about motion in one direction and equip you to understand how these concepts apply to everyday life.

There are three equations for linear motion with constant acceleration. They can be used to calculate, and therefore predict, the outcome of motion when three out of the four variables are known.
