What you need to know
Check yourself against these “I can” statements.
- I can explain what a mathematical model is and how it is used in mechanics
- I can use common modelling assumptions such as particles, light rods and smooth surfaces
- I can use SI units and derived units correctly
- I can tell the difference between scalar and vector quantities
These are the pages for Modelling in mechanics in the A Level Further Maths scheme of work, following Pearson Edexcel A Level Further Mathematics (9FM0). Open this topic in Mr Wells Maths to see it alongside the rest of the course.
