Tec — The Education Consultancy

Student Learning Outcomes covered

• Describe, using examples, how objects can be at rest and in motion simultaneously
• Identify types of motion — translatory (linear, random, circular), rotatory and vibratory — and distinguish among them
• Define, with examples, distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration (with units)
• Differentiate, with examples, between distance & displacement and speed & velocity
• Differentiate, with examples, between scalar and vector quantities; represent vector quantities by drawing
• Plot and interpret distance-time and speed-time graphs, and determine/interpret their slope
• Determine from the shape of a graph whether a body is at rest, moving with constant speed, or moving with variable speed
• Calculate the area under a speed-time graph to find distance travelled
• Solve problems on uniformly accelerated motion using the equations of motion, rearranging as required
• Solve problems on freely falling bodies using g = 10 m/s² as the acceleration due to gravity
