Free OCR A A Level Physics SUVAT worksheet with answers. Practise constant acceleration, signed velocities and free fall with separate question and solution PDFs.
What is covered
Questions and skills covered
The worksheet contains 3 pages of printable questions. A separate 3-page solutions PDF makes it easy to mark, review or share answers after the activity.
- Displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration
- Choosing and applying constant-acceleration equations
- Signed velocity and acceleration in straight-line motion
- Motion in a uniform gravitational field without air resistance
About this activity
This first linear-motion sheet starts with direct substitutions, then moves to camera-dolly scenarios, signed velocities and free fall. It concentrates on one object with constant acceleration; the separate motion-graph sheets develop gradients, areas and comparisons between journeys.
Before you start
Know the difference between speed and velocity, use a consistent positive direction, and rearrange a simple equation. SUVAT equations apply only while acceleration is constant.
A question from the worksheet
Question 1, worksheet page 1
A trolley has initial velocity 4.0 m/s and accelerates at 1.5 m/s^2 for 6.0 s. Calculate its final velocity.
Show the answer
v = u + at = 4.0 + (1.5 x 6.0) = 13 m/s.
Common error: Keep the initial velocity in the calculation. The product at is the change in velocity, not the final velocity.
