Solving Physics Problems is easy when you break it down into steps.

1) Read The Problem
2) Write down the given information
3) Decide on an Equation to Use to find what it is asking you to solve for
4) Plug Numbers into the Equation
5) Solve the Equation

Remember, most of the credit is given for knowing the science, so picking the correct equation, writing down the given information, and plugging in numbers. Solving is worth very little so it is the last part to worry about.
