h2. One-Dimensional Velocity

h4. Utility of the One-Dimensional Case

As with all [vector] equations, the equations of kinematics are usually approached by separation into components.  In this fashion, the equations become three simultaneous one-dimensional equations.  Thus, the consideration of motion in one dimension with acceleration can be generalized to the three-dimensional case.
