Problem Solving in Physics

Topic Review on "Title":

5 step problem solving strategy:

Step 1: Identify what’s being given
Step 2: Clarify what’s being asked.
If necessary, rephrase the question
Step 3: Select a strategy
Trial & error, search, deductive reasoning, knowledge-based, working backwards
Step 4: Solve using the strategy
Step 5: Review the answer

KUDOS method for solving work problems:

  • K = Known
