Explaining motion

Forces arise from the interactions of two objects. They can be divided into two categories - contact forces and non-contact forces.

The movement of objects can be described using motion graphs and numerical values. These are both used to help in the design of faster and more efficient vehicles.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE physics students studying scalar quantities, vector quantities and calculations involving forces.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE physics students studying moments, moments and balanced objects, levers and gears.

Unbalanced forces on an object will change its motion. Ideas about force and momentum can be used to explain road safety measures.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE physics students studying terminal velocity, Newton's first, second and third laws and braking.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE physics students studying momentum calculations, conservation of momentum and force and momentum.

Energy stored in a moving object is called kinetic energy. As an object is raised above ground its gravitational potential energy increases. When a force moves an object work is done.

This interactive quiz is aimed at GCSE physics students studying types of energy store, energy transfers, energy dissipation, the conservation of energy and energy calculations.

Understanding how to approach exam questions helps boost exam performance. Questions will include multiple choice, descriptions and explanations, using mathematical skills and extended writing.
