If you are taking Chemistry for the first time, you may encounter a class of problems known as stoichiometry problems. These are problems to calculate the amount of product generated (or reactant required) in a particular chemical reaction, given the quantity of some other product or reactant in the reaction. Most Chemistry teachers teach students…

In Part 1 of this blog series, I showed you a way to approach kinematics problems for horizontal motion, and in Part 2, I did the same for vertical motion. Now it is time to put it all together so that we can solve kinematics problems for arbitrary two-dimensional projectile motion problems. You may have…

In Part 1 of this series, I showed you a new way of looking at horizontal kinematics problems and of organizing your information so that you could avoid confusion and get the right answer every time. In this post, I am going to demonstrate how you can use the same method to make vertical motion…

If you are starting out in a new Physics class, you may have come across (or will come across) a class of physics problems known as kinematics problems. These have to do with the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration, and are often the first heavy calculation problems that students encounter in their study of…
