There are many techniques to use to solve physics problems. One of my favorites is drawing flow-chart-like diagrams showing paths to solutions. The resulting “maps” are great visual summaries of the mental thought processes that went into solving the problems. At first glance it may seem overwhelming and confusing. Take some time to process the map and perhaps you will find new insight into the logical steps taken to solve the problem. From Map a Solution – Kinematics – Free Fall
