3.1.2: Linear motion

#3.1.2a

(i) the equations of motion for constant acceleration in a straight line, including motion of bodies falling in a uniform gravitational field without air resistance

v=u+atv = u + at

s=(u+v2)ts = \Big(\dfrac{u+v}{2}\Big)t

s=ut+12at2s= ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

v2=u2+2asv^2 = u^2 + 2as

(ii) techniques and procedures used to investigate the motion and collisions of objects

PAG1 - Apparatus may include trolleys, air-track gliders, ticker timers, light gates, data-loggers and video techniques.

#3.1.2b

(i) acceleration g of free fall

(ii) techniques and procedures used to determine the acceleration of free fall using trapdoor and electromagnet arrangement or light gates and timer

PAG1

#3.1.2c
