About This Topic

Analysis of displacement, velocity, and acceleration over time. Students interpret kinematic graphs and derive equations of motion for uniformly accelerated bodies.

Key Questions

  1. How do displacement, velocity, and acceleration relate to one another?
  2. What information can be extracted from the gradients and areas of kinematic graphs?
  3. How do we apply equations of motion to solve real-world problems?
