Thank you for any help
Are those kinematic equations for components of vectors, or for vectors themselves?PEZenfuego said:Homework Statement

Sorry for the slow response.PEZenfuego said:If you click the first picture, you will have an understanding equal to mine. I'm sorry.

I should have been more direct with my earlier response.
The set of kinematic equations you have(v2)2=(v1)2+2axare valid for each component of displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
(v2)=(v1)+at
x2=x1+(v1)t+1/2at2
So you have two such sets of kinematic equations:(v2)x2 = (v1)x2 + 2axx
(v2)x = (v1)x + axt
x2 = x1 + (v1)xt + 1/2axt2
(v2)y2 = (v1)y2 + 2ayy
(v2)y = (v1)y + ayt
y2 = y1 + (v1)yt + 1/2ayt2
What did you get for answers?PEZenfuego said:It makes sense now. thank you.
