About Eduqas A Level Physics 1.2 Kinematics
This topic describes motion. Graph and projectile questions are common.
What you need to know
- Definitions Displacement, velocity and acceleration as vectors.
- Graphs Gradient of displacement-time gives velocity; area under velocity-time gives displacement.
- suvat Equations of motion for uniform acceleration.
- Projectiles Horizontal and vertical motion treated independently.
Common mistakes in 1.2 Kinematics
- Using suvat when acceleration is not constant.
- Mixing up distance and displacement.
- Giving horizontal velocity a vertical acceleration.
Try three 1.2 Kinematics exam-style questions
1. A ball is thrown horizontally at 8 m s⁻¹ from 5.0 m. Find the time to land. (2 marks)
Show the mark scheme answer
5.0 = ½ x 9.81 x t² (1); t = 1.01 s (1).
2. State what the area under a velocity-time graph represents. (1 mark)
Show the mark scheme answer
Displacement.
3. A car accelerates from rest at 2.0 m s⁻² for 6.0 s. Find its final velocity. (1 mark)
Show the mark scheme answer
12 m s⁻¹.
