# Year 11 Physics

## Module 1 | Kinematics

### Content 1: Motion in a straight line

#### Lesson 1 | Rectilinear motion

• describe uniform straight-line (rectilinear) motion and uniformly accelerated motion through:
– qualitative descriptions
– the use of scalar and vector quantities (ACSPH060)

#### Lesson 2 | Velocity

• conduct a practical investigation to gather data to facilitate the analysis of instantaneous and
average velocity through:
– quantitative, first-hand measurements
– the graphical representation and interpretation of data (ACSPH061)

#### Lesson 3 | Measuring and graphing motion

• conduct practical investigations, selecting from a range of technologies, to record and analyse the motion of objects in a variety of situations in one dimension in order to measure or calculate:
– time
– distance
– displacement
– speed
– velocity
– acceleration

#### Lesson 4 | Analysing motion

• conduct practical investigations, selecting from a range of technologies, to record and analyse the motion of objects in a variety of situations in one dimension in order to measure or calculate:
– time
– distance
– displacement
– speed
– velocity
– acceleration

#### Lesson 5 | Analysing graphs of motion

• use mathematical modelling and graphs, selected from a range of technologies, to analyse and derive relationships between time, distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration in rectilinear motion, including:

– $\vec{s} = \vec{u}t + \frac{1}{2}\vec{a}t^{2}$
– $\vec{v} = \vec{u} + \vec{a}t$
– $\vec{v}^{2} = \vec{u}^{2} + 2\vec{a}\vec{s}$ (ACSPH061)
