Mastery checklist

Know what success looks like.

  1. 01

    Choose a coordinate direction and state the initial conditions before calculating.

  2. 02

    Separate perpendicular components when the motion is two-dimensional.

  3. 03

    Check the sign, unit, and physical size of every displacement, velocity, and acceleration result.

Exam lens

Build, apply, check.

2 Kinematics sits inside AS Level foundations. Build the concept first, then practise selecting a model, showing working, and checking the final result.
