01 — Kinematics in One Dimension: Free Sample

Try the Premium Mechanics Series with this free six-page sample on kinematics in one dimension, combining guided notes, a worked example and practice with detailed solutions.

Created by Phi Advanced STEM Studies, this sample focuses on choosing and using constant-acceleration equations. It provides selected extracts from all three Topic 01 resources so students, teachers and tutors can see the approach before choosing the full collection.

Included in the sample

• Guided notes: a table of constant-acceleration equations and the quantities each excludes, plus a five-step method for choosing an equation and checking physical roots.
• A complete worked example: a train between two markers, with a diagram, method selection, acceleration, travel time, displacement, checks and final answers.
• Two practice question types: a conceptual multiple-choice question on signed area under an acceleration–time graph and a structured problem on a bus increasing speed.
• Worked solutions explaining the reasoning, intermediate calculations and an average-velocity check.

Use the sequence Learn → Apply → Practise → Check: read the notes, study the example, attempt the questions independently, then compare with the solutions.

Format and level
One six-page English-language PDF. Suitable for introductory post-16 mechanics and selected A level, IB and AP Physics revision, according to the course specification. Uses algebra and constant-acceleration equations.

This is a free sample of selected materials, not the complete Topic 01 notes, worked examples or practice-problem collection. The full Topic 01 resources are available separately in our TES shop. Independently produced educational support material; not endorsed by an examination board.
