Physics 2.4 Demonstrate understanding of mechanics
Key tips
- Understand that a physics problem involves a process(es) to find a physical quantity.
- Show all working of your calculations including any rearrangement of formulae.
- Be aware of the appropriate use of units. You may use both negative index (for example, ms–2) and slash notation (for example, m/s2) when writing units. However, the examination paper will supply data using negative index notation.
- Vector diagrams must be labelled, with arrows shown clearly on all vectors.
- Read the Physics 2.4 Mechanics thread as there are lots and lots of questions, diagrams, and explanations to help.
