Q

solving 1-D motion problems

A
  • 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
