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)
