In this lesson
In this video you'll learn about kinematics (SUVAT) formulae for GCSE Maths, with worked examples and the mistakes examiners report. By the end you'll be able to recall what each letter in the SUVAT formulae represents, recognise when constant acceleration requires a SUVAT formula rather than speed = distance/time, and substitute correctly.

|---|---|---|
| OCR GCSE J560 | 6.02e | Use: v = u + at; s = ut + (1/2)at^2; v^2 = u^2 + 2as where a is constant acceleration, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, s is displacement from position when t = 0 and t is time taken. |
For teachers
This GCSE Maths lesson teaches using the kinematics (SUVAT) formulae. By the end, students should be able to recall what each letter in the SUVAT formulae represents, recognise when constant acceleration requires a SUVAT formula rather than speed = distance/time, and substitute correctly. It works through two worked examples and the mistakes examiners report.
