Acceleration of Free Fall Experiment A common experiment to determine acceleration of a falling object which can be carried out in the lab Apparatus Metre rule, ball bearing, electromagnet, electro...
Solving Problems with Kinematic Equations Step 1: Write out the variables that are given in the question, both known and unknown, and use the context of the question to deduce any quantities that a...
Deriving Kinematic Equations of Motion The kinematic equations of motion are a set of four equations which can describe any object moving with constant acceleration They relate the five variables: ...
Gradient of a Velocity-Time Graph Acceleration is any change in the velocity of an object in a given time As velocity is a vector quantity, this means that if the speed of an object changes, or its...
Gradient of a Displacement-Time Graph Displacement-time graphs show the changing position of an object in motion They also show whether an object is moving forwards (positive displacement) or backw...
Area under a Velocity-Time Graph Velocity-time graphs show the speed and direction of an object in motion over a specific period of time The area under a velocity-time graph is equal to the displac...
Motion Graphs Three types of graph that can represent motion are displacement-time graphs, velocity-time graphs and acceleration-time graphs On a displacement-time graph… slope equals velocity the ...
Defining Displacement, Velocity & Acceleration Scalar quantities Remember scalar quantities only have a magnitude (size) Distance: the total length between two points Speed: the total distance ...
Measurement Techniques Common instruments used in Physics are: Metre rules - to measure distance and length Balances - to measure mass Protractors - to measure angles Stopwatches - to measure time ...
Calculating Uncertainty There is always a degree of uncertainty when measurements are taken; the uncertainty can be thought of as the difference between the actual reading taken (caused by the equi...
