P1 Motion
Syllabus statements

2. P1 Motion
1. Define speed & calculate speed from total time
÷ total distance.
2. Distinguish between speed and velocity.
3. Plot and interpret a speed / time graph and
a distance / time graph.

3. P1 Motion
4. Recognise from the shape of a speed / time
graph when a body is:
•at rest,
•moving with constant speed,
•moving with changing speed.
5. Recognise linear motion for which the
acceleration is constant and calculate the
acceleration.

4. P1 Motion
6. Recognise motion for which the acceleration is
not constant.
7. Calculate the area under a speed / time graph
to work out the distance travelled for motion with
constant acceleration.
8. Demonstrate a qualitative understanding that
acceleration is related to changing speed.
