Tips For Solving Projectile Motion Problems

This document provides guidance on solving physics problems involving motion in two dimensions. It advises that motion along the x-axis is independent of motion along the y-axis, to first solve for time if it is unknown, and that gravitational acceleration acts in the y direction by default while there is no acceleration in the x direction unless specified. It also instructs the reader to write down given information, identify the direction it applies to, and to isolate the unknown variable before substituting values.

Tips For Solving Projectile Motion Problems
- 1. X-motion is ALWAYS independent of Y-motion If you don’t know time (t), solve for it FIRST Why? Time is the same for both directions and will be the same in any equation A y = -9.81 m/s 2 (unless specified) A x = 0 m/s 2 (unless specified) Write down given information (and in what direction ISOLATE UNKNOWN VARIABLE FIRST BEFORE PLUGGING IN NUMBERS
