Distance, velocity, and acceleration

• Calculate average speed and distance travelled using the relevant equations.

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

• Analyze distance-time graphs to determine speed from the gradient of the line.
• Calculate acceleration based on changes in velocity over time.

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

• Evaluate motion scenarios using the equation relating final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and distance.

$v^2 - u^2 = 2ax$

• Analyze velocity-time graphs to qualitatively compare accelerations, calculate uniform acceleration from the gradient, and determine the distance travelled by calculating the area under the graph.
• Describe various laboratory methods, such as the use of light gates, to determine the speeds of objects.
• Recall typical everyday speeds for wind, sound, walking, running, cycling, and other transportation methods.
