  • Our dynamic universe

    • Motion - equations and graphs

      The motion of objects can be analysed using equations and graphs. These tools allow other aspects of motion such as acceleration and displacement to be determined or modelled.

    • Forces, energy and power

      Forces and the motion of objects can be determined using Newton's Laws of motion.

    • Collisions, explosions and impulse

      Momentum, kinetic energy and impulse can be used to analyse collisions between objects such as vehicles or balls. Forces and the final velocity of objects can be determined.

    • Gravitation

      Projectile motion is analysed in terms of vertical and horizontal components. The gravitational force between objects depends on their mass and the distance between their centres.

    • Special relativity

      The speed of light is constant but length and time can change when objects travel at close to the speed of light. These changes depend on the relative motion of the observer and the object.

    • The expanding Universe

      The Doppler effect causes shifts in wavelengths of sound and light. Cosmic microwave background radiation as evidence for the Big Bang and expansion of the Universe.
