Chapter 5: Objects in Motion

Outcome ✔

Describe the difference between distance and displacement using examples

Calculate the distance and displacement of an object

Interpret and draw distance-time graphs

Interpret and draw distance and displacement diagrams (NO trigonometry, use scale diagrams)

Explain the difference between instantaneous and average speed

Use the speed/distance/time formula to calculate missing values

Explain the difference between speed and velocity

Use a ticker timer to qualitatively and quantitatively describe speed

Draw and interpret speed-time graphs

Define acceleration as rate of change of velocity: a= (v-u)/t

Calculate acceleration using an equation and/or a graph by correctly determining gradient from v-t graph
using a line of best fit.

Define force, inertia and net force

Interpret and draw simple vector diagrams in 1 dimension only

State and understand Newton’s 1st, 2nd and 3rd Laws

Identify friction as a retarding force (always opposing motion)

Define Newton’s second law as the rate of change of momentum: F= (mv-mu)/t

Describe the relationship between force, mass and acceleration in terms of Newton’s 2 nd Law

Use the force/mass/acceleration formula to calculate missing values

Explain Newton’s 3rd Law using real life examples

Identify action-reaction force pairs

Recall conservation of energy

Explain the differences between energy transfer and transformation

Explain conservation of energy using an example

Explain conservation of momentum using an example (Rocketry)

Describe how and why the transformation of usable energy is never 100% efficient

Describe specific energy transformations and transfers in sport (e.g. hitting or kicking a ball)

Explain how seatbelts, crumple zones and airbags reduce the effect of a collision in terms of work (W=Fs and
change in E) and Newton’s Laws.

Identify that the force experienced by a passenger can be decreased by increasing the stopping distance
and/or by increasing the time taken to stop
