Open guideForces
Contact and non-contact forces, resultant force, Hooke’s law, weight, Newton’s laws, moments and stopping distance.
Motion
Speed and velocity, distance–time and velocity–time graphs, acceleration, F = ma, and kinetic and gravitational energy in moving systems.
Contact and non-contact forces
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on contact and non-contact forces: friction, tension, normal contact, gravity, electrostatic and magnetic forces, free-body diagrams and resultant force.
Weight and mass
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on weight and mass: mass in kilograms, weight W = mg in newtons, gravitational field strength, centre of mass, and why weight changes on the Moon but mass does not.
Hooke’s law
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on Hooke’s law: F = ke up to the limit of proportionality, spring constant in N/m, force–extension graphs, and elastic versus inelastic deformation.
Moments
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on moments: moment = force × perpendicular distance, clockwise and anticlockwise balance, centre of mass, and levers as force multipliers.
Pressure
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on pressure: p = F/A in pascals, liquid pressure p = hρg, atmospheric pressure, and why sharp blades and wide tyres are the same equation.
Speed and velocity
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on speed and velocity: average speed = distance/time, velocity as a vector, typical speeds, and distance–time graphs where gradient is speed.
Acceleration
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on acceleration: a = Δv/t in m/s², velocity–time graphs where gradient is acceleration and area is distance, and v² − u² = 2as when time is missing.
Newton’s laws
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on Newton’s three laws as distinct ideas: first-law inertia and zero resultant, second-law F = ma, and third-law pairs on two different objects.
Stopping distance
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on stopping distance: thinking plus braking, reaction-time factors, how braking distance grows with speed squared, and work done by the brakes.
Momentum
Teacher-written GCSE Physics revision on momentum: p = mv, conservation in a closed system, F = Δp/t, and crumple zones — Higher-tier Combined and Triple content, so check your paper.
Force and acceleration required practical
Plan the GCSE Physics force–acceleration investigation: trolley on a ramp or linear air track, F = ma setup, varying mass while controlling force, measuring acceleration, graph and friction controls.
