A-Level Maths AQA 7357

Understand and use the language of kinematics: position; displacement; distance travelled; velocity; speed; acceleration.

Understand, use and interpret graphs in kinematics for motion in a straight line: displacement against time and interpretation of gradient; velocity against time and interpretation of gradient and area under the graph.

Understand, use and derive the formulae for constant acceleration for motion in a straight line; extend to 2 dimensions using vectors.

Use calculus in kinematics for motion in a straight line:

$v = \dfrac{dr}{dt}$, $a = \dfrac{dv}{dt} = \dfrac{d^2r}{dt^2}$, $r = \displaystyle\int{v}~dt$, $v = \displaystyle\int{a}~dt$; extend to 2 dimensions using vectors.

Model motion under gravity in a vertical plane using vectors; projectiles.
