Equations of Motion

Video Summary

This video is about how to identify the most useful equation to solve a problem with constant acceleration. The video starts by explaining that it is important to understand where the equations come from in order to develop a strong understanding of position, velocity, acceleration, and time. It then gives two examples of problems with constant acceleration and shows how to identify the most useful equation to solve each problem.
