1-D Kinematics - Using the Motion Equations

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
