 If you choose the horizontal direction to be the x-direction, we have the following equations to describe the motion.

 As you will read, the motion of systems can also be predicted or explained by using the [[183_notes:define_energy|energy principle]] in addition to or, as an alternative, to using the [[183_notes:momentum_principle|momentum principle]]. You will find that using energy, you can often think about [[183_notes:grav_and_spring_pe|the initial and final states of the system's motion]] and not how that motion evolves (e.g., over what time the motion occurs).

 The derivation for each dimension is similar (so long as the force is constant in each direction). The result is the following general equation,
