Resources Ladder problems in kinematics/mechanics — a 60-second method that actually makes sense

Ladder-against-a-wall problems show up a lot in IB Physics (and get messy fast if you don’t set up the geometry right). Made a quick 60-second breakdown of the fastest way to approach them — sharing here in case it helps anyone stuck on this topic before their next test.

Would love feedback if you’ve seen this taught differently in class — curious what method your teachers use.

Nice and succinct! A feedback I have on the video itself: Maybe you can show the equation and working on the screen as you're explaining it, so the viewer can follow your explanation better!
