Description: I cover lots of kinematics tips in this one. Derivations of some kinematics equations and some tricks that I've picked up as a student. Also a lot of dimensional analysis and percent error practice. This would be useful to watch if you want to use kinematics equations better. Also, I go over this really good trick when seeing drop questions.
