When the question states that an object is:
“At rest/starting/takeoff” = The Initial Position and Initial Velocity are both 0
“Coming to a Stop” = Final Position and Final Velocity
“Going Backwards” = Negative Velocity
“Dropping/Free Falling/ Anything coming down…” = Negative direction for Acceleration
Acceleration Due to Gravity : ag = 𝟗.𝟖 𝒎/ 𝒔 𝟐
ag = 𝟗.𝟖 𝒎/ 𝒔 𝟐 UNLESS it gives us the acceleration value in the problem
Underline the variable we are trying to find!!!
CUT the sentence in intervals rather than trying to figure it out all at once
