Quantities & Calculations

Using mathematical relationships to describe motion, forces, energy, and efficiency.

← Back to Unit B

In Unit B, calculations are used to describe motion, analyze forces, and evaluate how efficiently energy is transferred in technological systems. These skills help students connect measurements, formulas, and physical meaning.

Motion Calculations

Calculate distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration using relationships between distance, time, and change in motion.

Force Calculations

Apply Newton’s laws to calculate net force, mass, and acceleration in physical systems.

Energy & Work

Calculate kinetic energy, work done, and energy transfer in moving objects and systems.

Efficiency

Analyze how efficiently energy is transferred in technological systems using input and output energy relationships.

Rearranging Physics Formulas

Rearrange equations to solve for unknown quantities and check units for physical meaning.

Worked examples and practice supports will be added throughout Unit B.
