Revision
Revision checklist
Can you explain each of these out loud, without looking? If not, re-read that lesson.
- Kinematics in a straight line: Displacement, velocity and acceleration, with the constant-acceleration SUVAT equations.
- Newton's laws of motion: Inertia, F = ma, and action–reaction pairs applied to real situations.
- Friction and connected particles: Modelling friction with F ≤ μR and solving systems of connected particles.
- Projectile motion: Resolving motion into independent horizontal and vertical components under gravity.
- Read each lesson's summary and re-do its practice questions from memory.
