Kinematics

 

Content

• Speed, velocity and acceleration

 

• Graphical analysis of motion

 

• Free-fall

 

• Effect of air resistance Learning Outcomes Candidates should be able to:

(a) state what is meant by speed and velocity

 

(b) calculate average speed using distance travelled / time taken

 

(c) state what is meant by uniform acceleration and calculate the value of an acceleration using change in velocity / time taken

 

(d) interpret given examples of non-uniform acceleration

 

(e) plot and interpret a displacement-time graph and a velocity-time graph

 

(f) deduce from the shape of a displacement-time graph when a body is: (i) at rest

(ii) moving with uniform velocity

(iii) moving with non-uniform velocity

 

(g) deduce from the shape of a velocity-time graph when a body is: (i) at rest

(ii) moving with uniform velocity

(iii) moving with uniform acceleration

(iv) moving with non-uniform acceleration

 

(h) calculate the area under a velocity-time graph to determine the displacement travelled for motion with uniform velocity or uniform acceleration
