This fully resourced lesson pack covers Linear Motion as specified in AQA A-Level PE Section 3.2.2.3 (Biomechanical Movement). Created and refined by a specialist PE teacher with 9 years’ AQA sixth-form experience.
Every slide is structured around AO1 (knowledge), AO2 (application to sport) and AO3 (analysis and evaluation), with embedded tasks, sport-specific examples and exam-style questions throughout.
WHAT’S INCLUDED (21 slides):
• Forces in linear motion — gravity, weight (W = mg, Newtons), frictional force, air resistance, internal muscular force; net force and equilibrium
• Application to sprinting — net force analysis at start, top speed and deceleration; role of spikes in maximising friction
• Scalar quantities — speed (v = d/t, m/s), distance (m), mass (kg): definitions, equations and units
• Vector quantities — velocity (rate of change of displacement, m/s with direction), displacement (m), acceleration (a = Δv/t, m/s²): definitions, equations and units
• Momentum — p = mv (unit: kg m/s); vector quantity; applied comparison of rugby prop (110 kg, 6 m/s) vs winger (80 kg, 8 m/s)
• Impulse — F × t (unit: Newton-seconds, Ns); impulse equals change in momentum (F × t = Δmv)
• Force-time graphs — area under the graph equals impulse; propulsive impulse vs braking impulse in sprinting; elite vs novice comparison
• Increasing and decreasing momentum — sprint start maximising propulsive impulse; landing technique increasing contact time to reduce injury risk
• AO3 evaluation: impulse-momentum relationship underpinning both sprint power development and safe landing technique
• Spot task: elite vs novice sprinter comparison using impulse and momentum
• Exam practice: 2-mark and 8-mark questions with full model answer (AO1/AO2/AO3)
• Active recall questions and stretch synoptic challenge
PERFECT FOR:
• Year 12 and Year 13 AQA A-Level PE lessons
• Consolidation and revision of linear motion and force-time graphs
• Cover lessons — fully self-contained with embedded tasks and model answers
