1D Kinematics
1D Kinematics of Constant Acceleration
Kinematics is the study of the motion of objects. One dimensional (1-D) kinematics studies the motion of objects moving along a straight line with constant acceleration. The major goal is to develop the ability to mathematically model the motion by applying the kinematic equations for constant acceleration.
1D Kinematics Problem Solving Strategies
This lecture will focus on how to solve the problems introduced in the previous lecture. Today will be an opportunity to flex problem-solving muscles: a major reason for taking physics and a skill to apply to any field of study. Ask questions and make as many mistakes as possible, as this is as low-stakes as it gets (compared to homework, exams, and your future job).
