Kinematics

For the theory behind Kinematics, please see the following web sites. Also, refer to any basic physics text.

Wikiversity: Kinematics

Hyperphysics 
Wikiversity is a free learning program. This lesson in kinematics includes several good example problems. (Click on "Mechanics" and then on "Velocity and Acceleration") Navigation in Hyperphysics can be a bit confusing at first but it is an notable resource regardless.
The Physics Classroom: 1D Kinematics Physics for Physical Sciences: Kinematics, Forces, and Energy
An excellent six-lesson tutorial in one-dimensional kinematics. An overly simplified tutorial in kinematics. It is recommended that you read another tutorial after you read this one.

 

How to Solve Kinematic Problems:

1-Dimensional Kinematics
Average Velocity & Average Speed - Similar but Different Constant Acceleration Freely Falling Objects - Gravity at Work Instantaneous Velocity - Calculus Based Physics Instantaneous Acceleration - Calculus Based Physics
2-Dimensional Kinematics
Vectors - Analysis and Resolution Vector Kinematics - Applied Vector Mathematics Projectile Motion & Trajectories Relative Velocity - Non-relativistically
