Selected worked examples
Motion · constant acceleration
Formula or reference: v = u + at
Units and conditions: Use m/s for speeds along a chosen axis, m/s² for acceleration and s for time.
Worked example: A vehicle travelling at +3 m/s and accelerating at +2 m/s² for 4 s reaches +11 m/s.
Waves · period
Formula or reference: T = 1/f
Units and conditions: Use frequency in Hz to find the period in seconds.
Worked example: An oscillator making 25 cycles each second has a period of 0.040 s.
What to work out beyond the sheet
Choose a positive direction first. A negative acceleration can represent slowing down or speeding up in the negative direction.
