Linear Kinematics

There are equations, first presented by Galileo, which can be used to quantify the kinematics of a projectile (see below).  You should note the equations may be used for non projectiles when acceleration is constant.  Also, please note these equations derive instantaneous and not average values.

Let’s use these equations above to quantify the kinematics of various projectiles.  Click below to view some problems and solutions.
