Kinematics in Two Dimensions

[AttackZebra]

Having diffuclty understanding the concepts, etc. I did alright for one dimension, but now I am pretty lost. I have trouble knowing what to find and how to draw everything out. (Chapter 3, Cutnell & Johnson, 7th Edition). Does anyone have any recommendations on online outlines or even youtube videos to help? Anything is appreciated, thanks

This forum might be a good place to start!

You can search google for help on 2-D kinematics tutorials though, I'm sure there should be some out there. One way to make the jump to 2-D kinematics is be on solid footing for 1-D kinematics. I think another thing that trips people up is thinking that movement in one direction effects movement in the other, which it doesn't. Feel free to post a question on the forum (with work provided and in the appropriate section) if you need help.

I understand that learning new concepts can be challenging and it is completely normal to struggle with understanding them at first. Kinematics in two dimensions can be a complex topic, but with practice and the right resources, you can improve your understanding.

One helpful resource for understanding kinematics in two dimensions is online outlines. These can provide a summary of the key concepts and equations, which can be a useful reference when studying. You can also find study guides and practice problems online to help you improve your understanding and application of the concepts.

Another great resource is YouTube videos. There are many educational channels that provide clear and concise explanations of kinematics in two dimensions. These videos often include visual aids and examples, which can be helpful in understanding the concepts.

I recommend checking out reputable sources such as Khan Academy, Crash Course, and The Organic Chemistry Tutor on YouTube for helpful videos on kinematics in two dimensions. Additionally, your textbook may have online resources or study guides that can provide further clarification on the concepts.

Remember to also utilize practice problems and seek help from your instructor or classmates if you are still struggling. With persistence and the right resources, I am confident that you will improve your understanding of kinematics in two dimensions. Best of luck in your studies!
