Physics 100: Mastering Kinematics
Comprehensive course including lectures, concepts, and problem solving tutorials.
Description
This course covers all of one and two dimensional kinematics and sets the foundation for other topics. The class is perfect for high school (honors and AP students), college and university students taking an introductory physics class. Students will learn to analyze the motion of an object using equations and graphs. I will teach you how to approach problems and help you develop your own problem solving strategies to become a better problem solver.
1) Introduction

4) Relative Motion in 1D and 2D
Definition of relative velocity
Learn how to find the relative velocities of objects relative to different objects
1D Relative motion problems: objects moving on airport walkways
2D Relative motion problems: problems dealing with river crossing.
