Question
- A. 2 m/s² — graph focus for resultant force
- B. This confuses mass and weight and does not answer Newton's laws of motion.
- C. This is too vague because it does not use the force or motion quantity named in the objective.
- D. This reverses the physical cause and effect for Forces and motion.
Answer
The correct answer is: 2 m/s² — graph focus for resultant force
Explanation
The correct option is 2 m/s² — graph focus for resultant force. 2 m/s² — graph focus for resultant force is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to calculate acceleration from resultant force and mass. This answer belongs to Newton's laws of motion within Forces and motion, so it must use precise AQA GCSE Physics forces and motion vocabulary. The other options are wrong because they either confuse mass and weight, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Calculating Acceleration
Students often confuse the formula for acceleration, using mass instead of resultant force in the calculation.
Remember that acceleration is calculated using the formula a = F/m, where F is the resultant force and m is the mass. Ensure you are using the correct variables.
