Mechanics

This chapter explains velocity and acceleration. It describes how to work with scalar and vector quantities for distance and speed. It also illustrates the equations of constant acceleration along with displacement-time graphs.

This chapter teaches us how to relate force to acceleration. It explains the calculation of their effects on an object using a combination of forces. It further explores force diagrams and calculations.

In this chapter, we learn how to resolve forces in horizontal and vertical directions. It explains how to find the resultants of more than one force in two dimensions. It also discusses directions of motion and acceleration.

In this chapter, we learn how to calculate the size of frictional forces and determine the direction of motion. We also solve problems where a change in the direction of motion changes the direction of friction.

This chapter describes the concept of connected particles. It highlights Newton's third law for objects that are in contact. We also learn how to calculate the motion or equilibrium of objects connected by rods, strings, and moving in elevators.

This chapter focuses on the concept of general motion in a straight line. It explains the calculation of velocity and acceleration using differentiation. We will also find displacement and velocity using integration.

In this chapter, we learn how to calculate the momentum of a moving body. We also solve various problems that involve the direct impact of two bodies that separate after impact and coalesce on impact.

This chapter overviews the concept of work and energy. It teaches us how to determine the work done by a force in moving a body. It further explains the calculation of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of a body.

This unit from Cambridge-International-AS-%252525252525252526-A-Level-Mathematics-%25252525252525253A-Mechanics-Course-Book has 13 chapters to practice on Mechanics

This chapter includes cross-topic review exercise 1, which contains the questions from the preceding chapters. It encourages deeper thinking around mathematical concepts and helps us undertake further practice exercises to test our knowledge.

This chapter consists of cross-topic review exercise 2. It reinforces the habit of a stepwise learning mechanism. Also, it helps students approach a problem strategically and develops mathematical and problem-solving skills.

This chapter focuses on cross-topic review exercise 3. The students visualise different concepts from a broader perspective which enhances learning to a great extent. It includes a variety of questions from previous chapters.

This chapter highlights the exam-style papers for practice and covers all the topics from all the chapters. We can use this to check our skills and knowledge of the topics. It also intends to develop our understanding of the concepts.
