Acceleration Calculations Explained for GCSE Physics and GCSE Science

Описание: Free physics resources, practice questions, and revision support: www.videoplatoacademy.com
Struggling with acceleration calculations? 🚀 In this video, we break down acceleration in GCSE Physics and GCSE Science step by step, making it easy to understand and apply. You’ll learn how to use the acceleration formula (a = Δv ÷ t), how to work with velocity–time graphs, and how to apply the SUVAT equations — including v² – u² = 2as — to real problems.

📘 What you’ll learn in this video:

•What acceleration means in physics (rate of change of velocity)
•How to calculate acceleration using the formula
•Worked examples of positive and negative acceleration (deceleration)
•Units of acceleration explained (m/s²)
•Applying GCSE Physics SUVAT equations in practice

👩‍🏫 This video is perfect for students revising AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and IGCSE Physics. It’s designed to help you master exam questions, boost your confidence, and avoid common mistakes.
