IGCSE Physics: v²=u²+2as | Edexcel Modular | Unit 1 | L7

This lesson covers spec point 1.10 — using the relationship between final speed, initial speed, acceleration and distance moved.

PowerPoint includes:
• Retrieval starter reviewing acceleration calculations and VT graph area
• Direct Instruction (I Do) — v² = u² + 2as introduced; each variable defined with units; equation linked to the area under a VT graph; worked examples calculating v, u, a and s with full substitution and rearrangement shown
• Guided Practice (We Do) — three calculations: find final speed from rest over a known distance; find braking distance; find acceleration from initial and final speeds
• Independent Practice (You Do) — real-world suvat problems including runway length, car braking distance and multi-step combinations with F = ma
• Review and Reflect — 3 MCQs and exit ticket calculation

Activity Sheet includes:
• Formula box: v² = u² + 2as
• 10 exam-style questions covering all four rearrangements and real-world contexts
• Stretch question combining v² = u² + 2as with F = ma in a multi-step problem
• Full mark scheme for teacher use
