§6.5Foundation and Higher tierAQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464)

Forces is one of 8 subtopics in Physics, part of AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (specification §6.5). The official spec splits it into 5 areas — Forces and Their Interactions, Work Done and Energy Transfer and Forces and Elasticity, and 2 more. Examiners can ask about 12 named concepts here, from Work Done and Energy Transfer to Stopping Distance and Braking. Inside the app, this subtopic can be practised directly: exam-format questions, AI-marked against the official mark scheme.
