1-D Kinematics - Solving Motion Problems - Part 1

Question 1

solving 1-D motion problems

Answer 1

• read the problem carefully
• watch for “hidden numbers”
• at rest or stopped means v = 0
• constant speed means a = 0
• maximum height means v = 0
• write down all the given quantities, and the one you are asked to find
• choose equation
• rearrange equation for unknown
• stick in numbers
