HINTS- solving kinematic equations

1. Draw a picture
2. Write down all the known variables
     Do you know:
                 time?
                 displacement?
                 initial velocity?
                 final velocity?
                 average velocity?
                 acceleration?
3. What are you trying to find out? (What is/are your unknowns?)
4. Choose an equation from the kinematics toolkit....
       which equation contains the variables you know & want to know.
5. Substitute numbers for variables in your equation.
6. Solve for your unknown(s).
7. Check your answer ( put through calculator again, check if answer is in reasonable quantity and correct units).
