Braking Distance and Energy – physics lesson P2i (Forces, motion and energy)

Full Lesson PowerPoint to teach a lesson on Braking Distance and Energy. It covers describing the factors that affect the kinetic energy of a moving object and explains what ‘work done’ means, calculating work done, calculating the kinetic energy of a moving object and estimating the braking distance of a road vehicle given its mass, speed and braking force. It also looks at combining the KE and Work done equations to calculate braking distance. This lesson also includes a retrieval task to assess understanding of content from previous lessons/years. This can be teacher marked or can be self/peer marked using the answer document provided.
