If you jump into the middle of a problem and try to plug numbers into a random formula, there is a real chance you will miss something. Sometimes that is possible, but if you systematically apply these procedures, even partially, you will have a better chance at solving the problem.
Kinematics: The general strategy for working with a context-rich problem in one-dimension with constant acceleration might include:
Projectile Motion: The general strategy uses kinematics (above), but the special case where a projectile lands at the same elevation it is launched, we have special formulas: \begin{align} \mbox{[Horizontal] Range} \qquad &R = \frac{v_0^2\,\sin(2\theta)}{g} \\[2ex] \mbox{Time of Flight} \qquad &T = \frac{2\,v_{y0}}{g} \\[2ex] \mbox{Maximum Height}\qquad &H = \frac{v_{y0}^2}{2\,g} \end{align}
Newton's Laws: The general strategy for working with forces might include:
