Projectile Motion and equations of motion

A comprehensive lesson which teaches students how to read motion graphs, calculate horizontal and vertical motion in projectiles using SUVAT equations and explain the effect of drag on projectiles leading to terminal velocity. Lesson is tailored towards the AQA A-level physics specification - Mechanics

Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner.

Learning objective: Use SUVAT equations to calculate projectile motion.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:

Success criteria:

SC1: I describe components of displacement-time and velocity-time graphs.

SC2: I can use and manipulate SUVAT equations.

SC3: I can calculate components of projectile motion.

Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons. There is also a guide attached with written walkthroughs of how to reach the final answer, even for those tricky 1 mark questions.

Powerpoint contains 17 slides and 13 past paper questions.
