Question
- A. 5 seconds — definition 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: 5 seconds — definition focus for distance
Explanation
The correct option is 5 seconds — definition focus for distance. 5 seconds — definition focus for distance is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to calculate time from distance and speed. 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 Time Calculation
Students often confuse the formula for calculating time, using distance divided by speed instead of speed divided by distance.
Remind students that the correct formula is time = distance / speed. Encourage them to practice rearranging the formula and using it correctly in different contexts.
