Topics Physics for March Monthly Test (UPDATE)

UPDATE: Since I am going to attend a workshop next week from Monday to Thursday, I will have to include Topics from Year 7 and 8. I apologize but it has to be done. Sooo start revising boys. 

As you already know, the March Monthly Test will be starting on the 31st of March 2014.
 The paper will consist of just one paper,
The topics which I have selected are

1.  Physical Quantities, Units and Measurement

Content

1.1  Scalars and vectors
1.2 Measurement techniques
1.3  Units and symbols

Learning outcomes

Candidates should be able to:
(a)define the terms scalar and vector.
(b)determine the resultant of two vectors by a graphical method.
(c)  list the vectors and scalars from distance, displacement, length, speed, velocity, time, acceleration,
mass and force.
(d)  describe how to measure a variety of lengths with appropriate accuracy using tapes, rules, micrometers
and calipers using a vernier as necessary.
(e)describe how to measure a variety of time intervals using clocks and stopwatches.
(f) recognise and use the conventions and symbols contained in ‘Signs, Symbols and Systematics’,
Association for Science Education, 2000.

2. Kinematics

Content

2.1  Speed, velocity and acceleration
2.2  Graphical analysis of motion
2.3 Free-fall

Learning outcomes

Candidates should be able to:
(a) state what is meant by speed and velocity.
(b) calculate average speed using distance travelled/time taken.
(c)  state what is meant by uniform acceleration and calculate the value of an acceleration using change in velocity/time taken.
(d) discuss non-uniform acceleration.
(e) *plot and *interpret speed-time and distance-time graphs.
(f) *recognise from the shape of a speed-time graph when a body is
   (1) at rest,
   (2)  moving with uniform speed,
   (3)  moving with uniform acceleration,
   (4)  moving with non-uniform acceleration.
(g)  calculate the area under a speed-time graph to determine the distance travelled for motion with uniform
speed or uniform acceleration.
(h)  state that the acceleration of free-fall for a body near to the Earth is constant and is approximately
10 m / s2.
(i)  describe qualitatively the motion of bodies with constant weight falling with and without air resistance (including reference to terminal velocity).
