Motion in one dimension, Section Quiz Acceleeration:
1 d, 2 b, 3 c, 4 c, 5a, 6 d, 7b, 8d,
9 CD, DE, EF, FG.  The displacement of the jogger with a constant acceleration is equal to the average velocity during a time interval multiplied by the time interval.  Because time intervals are equal, the displacements are in the same order as decreasing average velocities.  They decrease in order CD, DE, EF, FG.
10  x = vi t =+ 1/2 a x t squared.
           (.25 m/s) (3.0 s) + .(40 m/s/s) (3.0 s)squared / 2 = 2.6 m

Significant Figures Rules:
Use these in your calculations:
1.  All nonzero numbers are significant (1,2,3,4,...)
2. Zeros:
         Significant:  zeros in between other numbers are significant
                           trailing zeros in a number that has a decimal point (1.3. 200.00
         Not Significant
                           trailing zeros when there is no decimal point (i.e. 1000)
                           zeros in front of a number are not, they are place holders
                                     for example ( 0.00201)
         Exace numbers hav4e unlimited significant figures
                          numbers that were determined by counting
                          numbers by definition.
         Calculations
                          nultiplication and division
                                  answer has the same significant number as the smallest
                                  number of sig figs used to produce the product/quotient
                          adding and subtracting
                                  answer should have the least number of precise digits as
                                 the least precise number used to derive the total/difference
 
 
        When you make measurements
                    Record all of the certain numbers plus the one uncertain number
