In 1D kinematics, you use scalar equations for one direction. In 2D, position, velocity, and acceleration become vectors with x and y components. You apply the same kinematic equations independently to each dimension. Just remember to treat horizontal and vertical motions as separate 1D problems to be solved simultaneously.
