AP Physics C: Kinematics Review (Mechanics)

The video covers the Physics C mechanics curriculum, focusing on kinematics, vectors, scalars, and unit conversions. It explains uniformly accelerated motion (UAM) and its equations, freefall, and the use of graphs to represent motion. The video also discusses component and unit vectors, relative velocity, and projectile motion, providing a comprehensive review of these topics.

What is the difference between vectors and scalars?

Explain the concept of average velocity and instantaneous velocity.

What are the five variables involved in uniformly accelerated motion (UAM)?

What are the UAM equations and how do they differ from the equations on the AP exam?

Describe the acceleration of an object in free fall.

How do you determine the component vectors of an acceleration vector?

What is the significance of unit vectors in vector addition?

Explain the concept of relative velocity with an example.

What is the general strategy for solving projectile motion problems?

How does the acceleration in the Y direction behave for an object in projectile motion?
