As per the discussion below, it is incumbent upon me to cite sources. This pdf was one I created from a combination of sources. The sole written source was Young and Freedman's University Physics. Other sources are verbal, from teachers, and my own experience.

For dynamics problems in particular, here is a tailored Problem-Solving Strategy.
