Algebra+Review

Here is a review of rules to help problem solve in physics.

Problem Solving Strategy 1) Read the problem completely. 2) Reread and underline the given information and attach a variable to it. In this course, most **numbers** will be important to the problem. 3) Circle what you are trying to find and identify what variable it relates to. 4) Draw a sketch of the problem (create a model) 5) List the given information with its variable on the left side of your paper. 6) Identify equations that relate to the problem and has only one variable unknown (the circled quantity in the problem) //In advanced problems it may take 2 or more steps to solve a problem, but the general procedure is the same.//

7) Solve for the unknown variable, substitute numbers for variables and solve. 8) Check to see if the answer makes sense, the units and significant digits are correct.
