Constant Acceleration EquationsSign up
be able to use the equations for uniformly accelerated motion in one dimension: v = u + at, s = (u + v)t/2, s = ut + 1/2 at^2 and v^2 = u^2 + 2as · be able to apply these equations to problems involving vertical motion under gravity, taking g = 9.8 m s^(-2) unless otherwise specified
40 min
Motion GraphsSign up
be able to draw and interpret displacement-time and velocity-time graphs, including the use of gradients to find velocity and acceleration, and areas to find displacement and change in velocity
