Demonstrate in-depth/comprehensive understanding of aspects of mechanics typically involves providing evidence that shows how or why phenomena, concepts and principles are connected in the context of given situations. Statements must demonstrate an understanding of connections between concepts.
Evidence may be written, mathematical, graphical or diagrammatic.
Aspects of mechanics will be limited to a selection from the following:
Motion: Distance, speed, interpretation of distance and speed-time graphs, average acceleration and deceleration in the context of everyday experiences such as journeys, sport, getting going.
Force and Motion: Mass, weight and acceleration due to gravity, balanced and unbalanced forces, in the context of everyday experiences such as being stationary, moving at a constant speed, accelerating.
Force and Pressure in the context of everyday experiences.
Work, Energy and Power, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and the conservation of mechanical energy in free fall situations in the context of everyday experiences such as sports performance, dropping things, tossing balls.
