Interpret displacement-time and velocity-time graphs, derive and apply the constant acceleration (SUVAT) formulae in 1D.
[Understand, use and derive the formulae for constant acceleration for motion in a straight line]; extend to 2 dimensions using vectors
[Understand and use weight and motion in a straight line under gravity; gravitational acceleration, g, and its value in S.I. units to varying degrees of accuracy] [(The inverse square law for gravitation is not required and g may be assumed to be constant, but students should be aware that g is not a universal constant but depends on location)]
