Problem Set Part 1 Answer

These problems involve calculating position, velocity, acceleration, and other kinematic properties of objects in motion under constant acceleration or along curved paths. The problems require setting up and solving equations of motion to determine values at given times or other conditions such as maximum height or impact point.
