Exam points

  • Define and calculate distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration from motion descriptions, equations and graphs.
  • Use graph gradients and areas to determine velocities, accelerations and displacements with correct sign and units.
  • Derive and apply constant-acceleration equations to straight-line and free-fall problems.
  • Model perpendicular component motion and interpret trajectories, ranges, heights and physical constraints.
  • Plan or evaluate motion experiments and check measurement uncertainty, assumptions and feasibility.
