Hybrid of Qualitative and Quantitative Knowledge Models for Solving Physics Word Problems

This paper describes a system that uses a hybrid of quantitative and qualitative knowledge to solve physics word problems. Such an integration of knowledge from two models is useful to come up with the correct solution for many of these problems. We have applied this hybrid model to solve word problems from projectile motion. These types of word problems have not been addressed in recent times. We have solved a set of 30 problems in this domain.
