Kinematics and Vectors
be able to use the equations for uniformly accelerated motion in one dimension: s = (u + v)t / 2; v = u + at; s = ut + 1/2 at^2; v^2 = u^2 + 2as · be able to draw and interpret displacement-time, velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs · know the physical quantities derived from the slopes and areas of displacement-time, velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs, including cases of non-uniform acceleration and understand how to use the quantities · understand scalar and vector quantities and know examples of each type of quantity and recognise vector notation · be able to resolve a vector into two components at right angles to each other by drawing and by calculation · be able to find the resultant of two coplanar vectors at any angle to each other by drawing, and at right angles to each other by calculation · understand how to make use of the independence of vertical and horizontal motion of a projectile moving freely under gravity
