CP1 Motion (Paper 1 Physics)
This topic is all about the differences between vectors and scalars; for example velocity and speed.
You need to know about how to find velocity from a distance vs time graph and how to find acceleration and distance travelled from a velocity time graph.
Finally you should know some examples of typical speeds and values for real life situations - it's common sense really.
Here are some wordwall activities to try out - work through them in order and keep practicing until you can do them all

Here are some wordwall activities to try out - work through them in order and keep practicing until you can do them all
Activity 1: key facts A vector has a size AND a direction A scalar only has a size (magnitude) speed is a scalar velocity is a vector Activity 2: vectors and scalars sorting Another vectors activity - some of these examples are from other chapters in the book so once you've cracked this you know them all! Activity 3: distance vs time graphs
Activity 4: velocity vs time graphs
Activity 5: typical values You should be able to estimate typical amounts for speed and acceleration Speed is measured in m/s Acceleration is measured in m/s^2 Key fact: weight is a force so it is measured in newtons |
