What are motion graphs?Show answer
The area under a velocity-time graph can be split into triangles and rectangles. The gradient of a tangent gives the instantaneous acceleration even when the motion is non-uniform.
What is the equations of motion?Show answer
The equations apply only while the acceleration is constant. List the known quantities with a consistent sign convention (often taking the initial direction as positive), then pick the equation that fits.
What is q1?Show answer
State what the area under a velocity-time graph represents. [1 mark]
What is q2?Show answer
A stone is dropped from rest and falls for . Find its speed and the distance fallen (). [2 marks]
What is q3?Show answer
A projectile is launched horizontally at . State its horizontal velocity after , ignoring air resistance. [1 mark]
