Edexcel Motion and Forces
This is a large and important area of your GCSE physics. It explains how the world that we can see around us works.
Choose your topic:
- Scalars and Vectors [FREE] - These quantities both have a size, but vectors also have a direction
- Distance [FREE] - How far something moves, and how this is related to displacement
- Speed [FREE] - Mph, km/h or in physics m/s. How quickly an object is moving
- Velocity - The speed in a given direction
- Acceleration - How quickly an objects velocity is changing
- Motion Graphs - Distance-time and velocity-time graphs
- v squared - u squared - A special equation used for uniform motion
- Newton's First and Second Laws - The forces that act on one object
- Weight [FREE] - Often confused with mass, this is a force due to gravity
- Motion in a Circle - Constant speed but changing velocity
- Newton's Third Law - Pairs of forces acting on different objects
- Stopping Distances - The factors affecting vehicles slowing down
- Momentum - An introduction to momentum for higher tier students
- More Momentum - More advanced calculations involving conservation of momentum
