[Free] Master 1D And 2D Kinematics (Ap Physics C: Unit 1)

What you’ll learn

• Understand instantaneous and average kinematic quantities (displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration).
• Plot and interpret the relationships between particle motion graphs using geometry and calculus.
• Derive the big five kinematic equations, and learn effective methods to select the correct equations to quickly solve various motion problems.
• Derive the projectile motion equations from the big five kinematic equations and learn how to apply them efficiently in 2D motion problems.
• Get a lot of practice with solving simple and challenging kinematic problems strategically, which involve uniform and non-uniform acceleration.

Requirements

• Basic calculus and algebra
