TEST on Motion/Projectiles
2.1 Motion
Understandings:
Distance and displacement
Speed and velocity
Acceleration
Graphs describing motion
Equations of motion for uniform acceleration
Projectile motion
Fluid resistance and terminal speed
Data booklet reference:
v = u + at
s = ut +1/2at2
v2 = u2 + 2as
s = (v + u) t /2
Applications and skills:
Determining instantaneous and average values for velocity, speed and acceleration
Solving problems using equations of motion for uniform acceleration
Sketching and interpreting motion graphs
Determining the acceleration of free-fall experimentally
Analysing projectile motion, including the resolution of vertical and horizontal components of acceleration, velocity and
displacement
Qualitatively describing the effect of fluid resistance on falling objects or projectiles, including reaching terminal speed
Guidance:
Calculations will be restricted to those neglecting air resistance
Projectile motion will only involve problems using a constant value of g close to the surface of the Earth
The equation of the path of a projectile will not be required
