Open original on YouTubeWhy selected: Selected because it explains one-dimensional motion and constant-acceleration variables used by this calculator.
What it adds: It supplements the kinematics formula by distinguishing position, velocity, acceleration, and time.
How to use it: Solve a scenario in the calculator, then use the video to understand how the variables describe straight-line motion.
Open Linear MotionWhy selected: Selected because the overview helps users identify when a time-independent kinematics equation is appropriate.
What it adds: It supplements the v-squared equation by placing it within the broader constant-acceleration equation family.
How to use it: Use the calculator when time is unknown, then use the video to review how straight-line motion variables connect.
Open Velocity SquaredLinear Motion: The video is conceptual and does not model changing acceleration, air resistance, rotation, or multi-axis motion.
Velocity Squared: The video does not cover every derivation detail and does not apply to scenarios with variable acceleration or complex forces.
