AQA GCSE Physics · Topic 5
88 cards on Forces, every one written against a numbered point in section 4.5 of the AQA Physics spec. Here’s what the topic covers, and 4 cards to try.
Answer each one in your head, then check. In the app, how well you knew it decides when you see it again.
4.5.1.1–4.5.1.2 · Scalars, Vectors & Forces
A scalar has magnitude only (e.g. speed, distance, mass). A vector has magnitude and direction (e.g. velocity, displacement, force).
4.5.1.4 · Resultant Forces
The single force that has the same effect as all the original forces acting together.
4.5.6.1.1–4.5.6.1.3 · Distance, Speed & Velocity
Distance is how far an object moves (scalar). Displacement is the straight-line distance from start to finish and its direction (vector).
4.5.6.2 · Newton's Laws
If the resultant force on an object is zero, a stationary object stays stationary and a moving object carries on at the same speed in the same direction.
Every part of section 4.5 of the AQA spec, and how many cards cover it. Higher-only cards are hidden for Foundation students. Cards only on the separate Physics GCSE are hidden for Combined Science.
The method, the variables and a worked example for each.
