Exercise Linear Motion Equation

1. The document provides 20 examples of calculating linear motion using equations of motion, including distance, time, velocity, and acceleration for objects in free fall, accelerating, or moving at constant velocity. 2. The examples include calculations for planes, cars, rockets, bullets, balls, coins, and other objects moving in one dimension under acceleration due to gravity or a applied force. 3. The key kinematic equations of motion like distance = average velocity * time, velocity = initial velocity + acceleration * time, and acceleration = change in velocity/time are demonstrated through various word problems about moving objects.
