An object fired at an angle from the ground follows a parabolic trajectory. Attribution Teaching JPEG	Acceleration is the time rate of change of speed and/or direction. At any point on a speed-time graph, its magnitude is given by the slope of the tangent to the curve at that point. Attribution Teaching JPEG	The graph of a function, drawn in black, and a tangent line to that function, drawn in red. The slope of the tangent line is equal to the derivative of the function at the marked point. Attribution Teaching JPEG

Great for teachers!
Building slideshows as layers in a free graphics program such as GIMP or Seashore is an inexpensive and compelling way to bring these images into the classroom. Teachers might consider using the inexpensive LaPazz WP5540-TAB1Q graphics tablet from WikiPremed (only $39.95) for this purpose. WikiPremed believes that presenting teaching slides using a paint program such as Photoshop, GIMP or Seashore with a graphics tablet is much better than Keynote or Powerpoint because the writing and drawing capabilities are much better. It's how we do it!
