Physics Kinematics: Motion in a Straight Line - Equations of Motion Part 1

This video tutorial covers the equations of motion for uniform acceleration, known as SUVAT equations. It explains the variables involved and emphasizes the importance of sign conventions. The tutorial includes examples, such as a sphere accelerated by a tractor beam and a tennis ball thrown upwards, to demonstrate the application of these equations. It also highlights the process of solving physics problems, including underlining key information, drawing diagrams, and selecting appropriate equations. The video concludes with a review of key concepts and tips for avoiding common mistakes in physics calculations.

Explain the concept of sign convention in the context of vectors.
