Applied Science AQA/Kinematics

Kinematics Setting Applied context A brief paragraph about where this science is used Syllabus ContentWhat you need to do• the motion of objects Describe motion in terms of displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration. Know the difference between: - distance and displacement - speed and velocity• the formulas : (average) v = s/t v = u + at v2 = u2 + 2as s = ut + ½ at2 Use these suvat equations to calculate any of the five quantities. Recognise 'hidden' information, such as a=9.81 ms−2 when falling, or that accelerating from rest gives u = 0 ms−1.• representing motion through the use of graphs of displacement against time and velocity against time Use these graphs to describe motion. Calculate the gradient of a displacement-time graph as speed. Calculate the gradient of a velocity-time graph as acceleration. Calculate the area under a velocity-time graph as distance traveled. (Gradients may require the calculation of the tangent to a curve at a point.)
