Component, Unit, and R Position Vectors
Vector components are reviewed. Unit vectors are introduced and an example is walked through. The “r” position vector is introduced and an example using both “r” position vector and unit vectors is worked through.

Practice Problem: Box Sliding Down a Ramp
Lisa, are you serious? Alright, just one more favor. This one is a little trickier than the previous, because there is some trigonometry involved, beyond the kinematics and friction from the previous problems. What will become of your...

Practice Problem: The Motorcycle Daredevil
Your buddy Max is always attempting crazy stunts! Remember that time, he dove off the tree into the kiddie pool? Well this time he's going to take his motorcycle over a brick wall. Since you know all about projectile motion, and you know...

Practice Problem: Pendulum Velocity
Now you're really getting advanced with your building skills. Check out this pendulum. It's a good thing we know about potential energy and kinetic energy, because that will allow us to calculate the velocity of the pendulum at any...

Demonstrating the Components of Projectile Motion
Projectile motion is composed of a horizontal and a vertical component. This video shows that via a side-by-side video demonstration and also builds the velocity and acceleration vector diagram.
