Nothing Moves
Without a Resultant

GCSE Physics Knowledge Mat — Forces and motion (PDF)

Why a car at a steady seventy has no net force on it — and why twice the speed needs more than twice the road. Scalars, vectors and Newton's three laws, with the two motion graphs; mass, weight, work, moments and Hooke's law; stopping distance drawn from its two rules; eight equations with a chip saying which you must recall and which you are given; a worked crash-force estimate. Ten terms to define, a model answer on doubling speed, and the misconceptions that cost marks.

    Cover of Nothing Moves Without a Resultant

    One landscape A4 page on one topic, led by the figures and photographs rather than the headings. It carries vectors and Newton's laws, the two motion graphs, weight, work, moments and Hooke's law, stopping distance, the recall-or-given equations and a worked crash-force estimate — then the vocabulary, a worked exam-style answer and the misconceptions that cost marks.

    Every photograph on the sheet is a real archival or scientific image, not an illustration and not AI-generated; every diagram is drawn in code for the sheet. Each image was checked against its own licence template rather than a label, and the running foot names every creator, states that the images have been cropped and adjusted for print, and links the licence — so the sheet can be photocopied for a class and stay compliant. Every claim is sourced to the DfE subject content, and nothing is reproduced from a past paper, a textbook or a specification.

    Sold by subject: all four physics sheets for one price. A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the work is happening.

    Written to
    The DfE GCSE subject content for physics (DFE-00353-2014). Every photograph is a sourced archival or scientific image, licensed for reuse and credited on the sheet; every diagram is drawn in code for the sheet
