Episode 2 — Mechanics - Vertical Projectile Motion

Equations of Motion

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the symbols and their units in the equations of motion (U, V, A, d, t). • Explain the difference between scalar and vector quantities in the context of equations of motion. • Apply the assumptions for using the equations of motion, including rectilinear motion and free fall. • Calculate acceleration due to gravity (G) as 9.8 m/s². • Use the equation V = U + at to solve problems involving initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time.
