Answer 1

After coming to a solution, some steps you might take include writing down the given facts, identifying the relevant equation(s), solving for the unknown quantity, substituting known values, checking for reasonability.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write down all of the information you have been given.
2. Identify the equation(s) that are required to use to solve the problem.
3. Make a list of what is given or can be inferred from the problem as stated (identify the knowns).
4. Solve the appropriate equation or equations for the quantity to be determined (the unknown).
5. Substitute the known values along with their units into the appropriate equation, and obtain numerical solutions complete with units. Be sure to use units of radians for angles.
6. Check your answer to see if it is reasonable: Does your answer make sense?
