Kinematics
:
(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
(i) state that the acceleration of free fall for a body near to the Earth is constant and is approximately
10 m/s2
(j) describe the motion of bodies with constant weight falling with or without air resistance, including
reference to terminal velocity
