Edexcel International GCSE Physics1b Movement and position Checklist

Papers 1 and 2

• I can plot distance−time graphs and explain what they show.
• I know and can use the relationship between average speed, distance moved and time taken: average speed = distance moved / time taken
• Practical: I can investigate the motion of everyday objects, such as toy cars or tennis balls.
• I know and can use the relationship between acceleration, change in velocity and time taken: acceleration = change in velocity / time taken, a = (v − u) / t
• I can plot velocity−time graphs and explain what they show.
• I can find acceleration from the gradient of a velocity−time graph.
• I can find the distance travelled from the area between a velocity−time graph and the time axis.
• I can use the relationship between final speed, initial speed, acceleration and distance moved: (final speed)² = (initial speed)² + (2 × acceleration × distance moved), v² = u² + (2 × a × s)
