About Cambridge IGCSE Physics Motion

This sub-topic covers describing motion.

What you need to know

  • Speed v = s/t and average speed.
  • Graphs Distance-time and speed-time graphs.
  • Free fall Acceleration of free fall g ≈ 9.8 m/s².

Common mistakes in Motion

  • Using the wrong graph area.
  • Forgetting deceleration is negative acceleration.
