Kinematics Part 1: Horizontal Motion

The video tutorial introduces the concepts of mechanics, focusing on kinematics and dynamics. It explains the historical development of kinematics by Galileo and its significance in understanding motion. The tutorial covers fundamental kinematic equations and demonstrates their application through practical examples involving car acceleration and deceleration. These equations help calculate velocity, displacement, and time, providing a foundation for analyzing motion in one and two dimensions.

What approximations must be made when calculating motion on Earth compared to in space?

What is the significance of the subscript of zero after velocity or displacement?

Describe how to find the braking distance of a car given its initial velocity and acceleration.
