I’ve had a request to post some worked examples of the equations of motion. I’ve done these quickly as handwritten examples with red pen down the side to explain what I have done at each step. I’ll post them as 5 different blog entries so that iTunes will pick up all the pdf files – you only get one file per blog post on iTunes.

If you want any extra practice at these, you have the P&N problem booklet at home. Alternatively, you could be adventurous and look at the blue text book end of chapter questions or even a past paper – you have completed Unit 1 after all!
