Motion: Problem 1

The document contains 20 physics problems related to motion involving concepts like velocity, acceleration, projectile motion, circular motion, and forces. The problems involve calculating values like velocity, acceleration, time, distance, displacement, speed, and tension at various points in motions along straight lines, vertically, at an angle, and in circular paths. Diagrams are provided for some problems and concepts like gravity, mass, radius, and time intervals are given. Calculations require using kinematic equations and principles of forces.
