GCSE Physics A — Global Challenges

Led by Galileo Galilei Simulacrum

The eighth module — physics on the move (transport, safety), powering Earth (energy resources, nuclear, renewables), and beyond Earth (solar system, stars, red shift, Big Bang).

1. Module 1

   Physics on the Move

   Led by Galileo Galilei Simulacrum

   The question

   Momentum in vehicle collisions · impulse and force-time graphs (Higher) · vehicle safety features (crumple zones, seat belts, airbags — how they reduce force by increasing time) · braking distances an...

   Outcome
