Mastery checklist
Know what success looks like.
- 01
Define centre of gravity in precise physics language.
- 02
Choose and apply the mapped relationship with symbols, units, and assumptions stated.
- 03
Explain how the result fits the wider syllabus topic and test whether it is reasonable.
Exam lens
Build, apply, check.
1.5.3 Centre of gravity sits inside Motion, forces and energy. Build the concept first, then practise selecting a model, showing working, and checking the final result.
