Question
- A. 30 m/s — calculation focus for distance
- B. This confuses distance and displacement and does not answer Distance, displacement, speed and velocity.
- 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: 30 m/s — calculation focus for distance
Explanation
The correct option is 30 m/s — calculation focus for distance. 30 m/s — calculation focus for distance is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to calculate speed from distance and time. This answer belongs to Distance, displacement, speed and velocity 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 distance and displacement, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Speed Calculation
Students often confuse speed with velocity and forget to use the correct units when calculating speed from distance and time.
Remind students to use the formula speed = distance / time and ensure they convert distance to meters and time to seconds for consistent units.
