Edexcel AS Mathematics Year 1: Mechanics: Modelling in Mechanics

Throughout this topic, students learn how construct a mathematical model of how motion and applied forces act on an object. Later, as learning progresses they learn how how to make modelling assumptions using standardised units of speed, distance, time and force.
