WARNING: Gravity Hurts

     Mrs. Gende had us create a Tagxedo about Kinematics, as you can see mine below. Mrs. Gende also had us create a comic using pixton about a concept of Kinematics, I chose gravity. My comic explains acceleration due to gravity. Gravity is a term used for the downward acceleration when something is falling, and also the upward acceleration when something is thrown up. In my comic I present an example of downward acceleration due to gravity. In it the object ( in this case a person,) has a downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s². When the person is thrown upward he maintains his acceleration of -9.8 m/s² which causes his speed to gradually decrease, except in this case because of Mrs. Gende's super kick. Gravity is explained in a very understandable way in my comic.

  1. Your Tagxedo is complete and very creative!
    The posting introduction and your comic strip need to be corrected. You state that: "Gravity is a term used for the downward acceleration also the upward velocity". Acceleration and velocity? Also, in the comic strip you say: Gravity works as acceleration. What do you mean by that?
    Please rework these items taking into account that gravity is a term that is used to indicate a force.
    Also, on both the introduction and the comic strip your units of acceleration are incorrect.
    Your comic strip is very original but the concept is not clearly explained.

  2. Your Tagxedo looks great and your idea for the Pixton is super creative! I think you should explain the assignment, though, in your introduction, and there are a few grammatical errors in the pixton. I think you should elaborate on upward versus downwards, too, because it's a little confusing.
    It's really good, though.

  3. Thanks for the comments. Mrs. Gende when I made the corrections on the units it was fine for the blog posting but it would not let me do the ^ sign to do ^2 and it would not let me copy and paste m/s2 for the pixton, it isn't even showing up as an exponet in this comment.
