Module 1: Kinematics

Module 1: Kinematics is the first module of Year 11 HSC Physics. This module introduces basic concepts related to the motion of masses.

Motion in a Straight Line

Inquiry question: How is the motion of an object moving in a straight line described and predicted? 

• Scalar and Vector Quantities

• Motion with Acceleration

• Calculations Using Kinematic Equations

• Instantaneous and Average Velocity

Motion on a Plane

Inquiry question: How is the motion of an object that changes its direction of movement on a plane described? 

• How to Resolve Vectors

• Relative Velocity in One and Two Dimensions
