### Understanding and Solving Physics Problems

#### Diagram/Picture
*Insert any relevant diagram or picture here to visually represent the physical problem.*

#### Knowns/Unknowns (include units)
*List all given values in the problem (knowns) and all values you need to find (unknowns), including their respective units.*

#### General Equations
*Include all relevant equations that are generally used to solve the type of problem presented. For example:*

- Equation 1: \( F = ma \) (Force = mass × acceleration)
- Equation 2: \( v = u + at \) (Final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration × time)
- Equation 3: \( s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2 \) (Displacement = initial velocity × time + 0.5 × acceleration × time²)

#### Solve for Unknown (if you need more space just add a page)
*Step-by-step solution:*

1. **Identify the known values** provided in the problem.
2. **Choose the applicable equation** that includes the unknown variable.
3. **Substitute the known values** into the equation.
4. **Solve for the unknown value** by performing the necessary algebraic steps.

*If additional space is required, continue the solution on another page.*
