Mechanics Mastery for A-level Physics

Understand forces, motion, energy, Newton’s laws, vectors, projectiles, momentum and moments

What you'll learn
- Interpret and use motion graphs (displacement, velocity, acceleration) to describe different types of motion.
- Apply Newton’s Laws to explain and solve problems involving forces and motion.
- Use equations of motion and energy principles to tackle real-life and exam-style questions.
- Break down vectors into components and use them to solve two-dimensional motion problems.
- Analyse projectile motion using equations of motion and vector techniques.
- Calculate momentum and apply the conservation of momentum to collisions and explosions.
- Apply the principle of moments to solve equilibrium problems involving turning forces.

Requirements
- A basic understanding of GCSE-level Physics and Maths (algebra and simple trigonometry).
- An interest in learning Mechanics at A-level or equivalent.
- A calculator, pen, and paper for solving problems and practicing questions.
- No prior knowledge of advanced Physics is required — everything will be explained step by step.

Description
This comprehensive online course is designed to help A-level Physics studentsmaster the essential principles of Mechanics, from the fundamentals of forces and motion to the advanced problem-solving skills required forGrade A and A* performance.

The course begins with thecore building blocksof Mechanics — understandingforces, weight, mass, and resultant forces, and how these relate throughNewton’s laws of motion. Students are guided carefully through these topics withclear, step-by-step tuition videosthat simplify complex ideas and demonstrate how Physics principles apply to real-world situations.

As the course progresses, students will explore more advanced areas such asresolving forces, free-body diagrams, motion graphs, acceleration, momentum, and energy transfer. Each video lesson is designed to develop conceptual understanding alongside strong mathematical reasoning — the key to success in A-level Physics.

A key strength of this course is itsdetailed treatment of the more challenging areas of Mechanicsthat many students struggle with. Topics such asprojectile motionare explained clearly and visually, helping students understand how horizontal and vertical components of motion combine to produce a curved trajectory. Students also gain confidence working withvector components, learning how to break forces into horizontal and vertical parts, and how to find thecomponents of weight on an inclined plane. In addition, the course provides a clear, step-by-step explanation of how to determine thereaction forces at two supports using the principle of moments, a topic that often causes difficulty in exams. These lessons are supported with multiple worked examples and guided practice questions to build both understanding and fluency.

To reinforce learning, every topic includespractice questions with fully worked solutions, allowing students to apply their knowledge and learn from model answers. The course also features a series ofcarefully selected past exam questions, each withexpert video walkthroughsshowing how to structure high-quality responses and achieve full marks.

By completing this course, students will develop adeep understanding of Mechanics, improve theiranalytical and problem-solving skills, and feel confident tackling even the most demanding A-level Physics exam questions.

Who this course is for:
- A-level Physics students who want clear explanations and step-by-step problem solving.
- Students preparing for exams who want to strengthen their understanding of Mechanics.
- GCSE students moving up to A-level who want a head start on the core Mechanics topics.
- First-year university or engineering students who need a solid foundation in forces, motion, and energy.
- Adult learners or enthusiasts who want to revisit Physics in an accessible, structured way.
- Anyone looking to improve their confidence with Physics calculations, graphs, and problem-solving.
