Key takeaways
Using the equation for acceleration in practice exam questions.
Rearranging the equation for acceleration.
Applying the concept of acceleration to different situations.
Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. In this 5 minute, short burst class students will get the opportunity to further understand and solve the equation for acceleration. In addition, students will gain a better understanding of how to rearrange the equation for acceleration and how to apply this concept to different situations. This is an essential skill for students to understand if they want to excel in their Physics GCSE examinations.
