Worked examples

Kinematics in one dimension

One sheet for each type of problem, with several worked examples of increasing difficulty: first the computation, then the explanation in words. Each sheet starts with links to the theory it uses.

• 1Uniform rectilinear motions and meeting problems
• 2Starting and braking with constant acceleration
• 3Free falls and vertical launches
• 4Multi-phase motions and areas under the velocity graph
• 5Velocity and acceleration from an equation of motion
• 6Equations of motion from the acceleration
• 7Motions with velocity-dependent acceleration
