This quiz tests your understanding of the principles of kinematics. Here are the ground rules:
1. Try to do things by yourself. Do not cheat its not worthy it!
2. The quiz opens at 12:30 on Friday 28th February 2014 and closes on Monday 3rd March at
12:30. Submit before this time as jams may prevent you from submitting. At 12:31 (Monday 3rd March)
the quiz will become sterile and inaccessible.
3. Use g = 9.81 m/s
2
, where applicable
4. Enter your answers to 3 significant figures. Lets do it!
