Computer Homework Problems for Week 1 of PHY 101

There are several sets of questions dealing with the analysis of 'strobe photographs' for this homework set.  You will be asked to provide your Miami Userid and your name.  Work on each problem until you are sure that you know how you want to answer.  Once you click on the 'Submit' button, your answers will be recorded and cannot be changed afterwards.  I will only grade problems with matching Userids and names. 

Don't get stressed out over the homework.  It should help you to understand motion, not cause you to hate computers.

Note:  The computer automatically chooses problems within a set for each of the exercises.  Remember, since this is a graded exercise, it should be your own work.
