Question
- A. 20 m/s — graph focus for acceleration
- B. This confuses speed and velocity and does not answer Acceleration.
- 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: 20 m/s — graph focus for acceleration
Explanation
The correct option is 20 m/s — graph focus for acceleration. 20 m/s — graph focus for acceleration is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to calculate change in velocity from acceleration and time. This answer belongs to Acceleration 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 speed and velocity, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Acceleration Calculations
Students often confuse change in velocity with acceleration, leading to incorrect calculations.
To fix this, remember that change in velocity is the product of acceleration and time. Use the formula: change in velocity = acceleration x time.
