Linear Kinematics

Summary: Projectiles are apart of just about every sport and are unique because acceleration is constant.  When acceleration is constant it makes calculating the kinematics of projectiles easy when velocity is resolved into its perpendicular components.  Before moving on to angular kinematics, it would be a good idea to re-read the objectives at the beginning of this lesson and decide if you have accomplished the aims and objectives.  Click on the link below for more practice problems and solutions related to linear kinematics.
