P1 syllabus statements
- 2. P1 Motion 1. Define speed & calculate speed from total time ÷ total distance. 2. Distinguish between speed and velocity. 3. Plot and interpret a speed / time graph and a distance / time graph.
- 3. P1 Motion 4. Recognise from the shape of a speed / time graph when a body is: •at rest, •moving with constant speed, •moving with changing speed. 5. Recognise linear motion for which the acceleration is constant and calculate the acceleration.
- 4. P1 Motion 6. Recognise motion for which the acceleration is not constant. 7. Calculate the area under a speed / time graph to work out the distance travelled for motion with constant acceleration. 8. Demonstrate a qualitative understanding that acceleration is related to changing speed.
