Scalar and vector
Because I am committing crimes with magnitude and direction
Read meContact forces
Contact and non-contact forces and how they work
Read meGravity
Classic physics. The difference between weight and mass.
Read meResultant forces
Combine multiple forces into one overall force
Read meWork done
You need to do some work to understand how work is calculated.
Read meForces and elasticity
Time for bed said Zebedee
Read meStretching a spring
required practical
Have you reached your limit yet? Stretch your understanding with this practical.
Read meMoments
(physics only)
Wait a moment! what's going on here?
Read meLevers and gears
(physics only)
Gear yourself up to succeed. Lever your knowledge to get a great grade
Read mePressure in fluids

This is the basis of hydraulic pressure and why how JCBs work.
Read meFloating and sinking
(physics only)
If you have a sinking feeling about forces thrust your knowledge up with these notes
Read meSpeed and velocity
More scalar and vector shenanigans with speed and velocity
Read meDistance time graphs
Graph drawing methods to calculate speed
Read meAcceleration - 1
Accelerate your understanding of motion so you do not end up going around in circles.
Read meAcceleration - 2
Once more into the breach my dear friends with acceleration again.
Read meNewtons First Law
Newtons First law is about balanced forces. Do not let inertia stop you from learning
Read meNewtons Second Law
The second law is classic physics. F = ma, You do not get more classic than that.
Read meNewtons Third Law
Revise and get a good mark. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction!
Read meTerminal velocity
(physics only)
People jumping out of planes. How fast do they go?
Read meAcceleration
required practical
applying Newtons second law on a practical level (actually on a slope!)
Read meForces and braking
Forget your GCSE! you need to learn this stuff for your driving licence
Read meMomentum
Make sure you keep up your momentum with your learning
Read meMomentum calculations
