The topic contains 7 subtopics, 30 topic questions and 53 marks in total. Rows count only the parts tagged to that subtopic, keep the same colour in both charts and repeat paper count, tagged marks and year range in the native table. ## Topic question count and mark distribution Subtopics are on the vertical axis and sorted from highest to lowest. Only the parts whose knowledge graph matches a subtopic are counted for it, and percentages are each row's share of the tagged total in that chart. A part tagged to several subtopics is counted in each bar, so the bars are not a partition of the topic total. ### Questions by subtopic question items - [2 use graphical methods to represent distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/2-use-graphical-methods-to-represent-distance-displacement-speed-velocity-and/) (5 papers) — 7 · 20.6% - [7 solve problems using equations that represent uniformly accelerated motion in a straight line, including the motion of bodies falling in a uniform gravitational field without air resistance](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/7-solve-problems-using-equations-that-represent-uniformly-accelerated-motion-in-a/) (5 papers) — 7 · 20.6% - [1 define and use distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/1-define-and-use-distance-displacement-speed-velocity-and-acceleration/) (5 papers) — 5 · 14.7% - [3 determine displacement from the area under a velocity–time graph](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/3-determine-displacement-from-the-area-under-a-velocity-time-graph/) (4 papers) — 5 · 14.7% - [5 determine acceleration using the gradient of a velocity–time graph](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/5-determine-acceleration-using-the-gradient-of-a-velocity-time-graph/) (5 papers) — 5 · 14.7% - [9 describe and explain motion due to a uniform velocity in one direction and a uniform acceleration in a perpendicular direction](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/9-describe-and-explain-motion-due-to-a-uniform-velocity-in-one-direction-and-a/) (3 papers) — 3 · 8.8% - [4 determine velocity using the gradient of a displacement–time graph](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/4-determine-velocity-using-the-gradient-of-a-displacement-time-graph/) (2 papers) — 2 · 5.9% ### Marks by subtopic marks - [2 use graphical methods to represent distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/2-use-graphical-methods-to-represent-distance-displacement-speed-velocity-and/) (5 papers) — 16 · 25.0% - [7 solve problems using equations that represent uniformly accelerated motion in a straight line, including the motion of bodies falling in a uniform gravitational field without air resistance](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/7-solve-problems-using-equations-that-represent-uniformly-accelerated-motion-in-a/) (5 papers) — 14 · 21.9% - [5 determine acceleration using the gradient of a velocity–time graph](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/5-determine-acceleration-using-the-gradient-of-a-velocity-time-graph/) (5 papers) — 9 · 14.1% - [3 determine displacement from the area under a velocity–time graph](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/3-determine-displacement-from-the-area-under-a-velocity-time-graph/) (4 papers) — 8 · 12.5% - [4 determine velocity using the gradient of a displacement–time graph](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/4-determine-velocity-using-the-gradient-of-a-displacement-time-graph/) (2 papers) — 6 · 9.4% - [9 describe and explain motion due to a uniform velocity in one direction and a uniform acceleration in a perpendicular direction](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/9-describe-and-explain-motion-due-to-a-uniform-velocity-in-one-direction-and-a/) (3 papers) — 6 · 9.4% - [1 define and use distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration](https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/1-define-and-use-distance-displacement-speed-velocity-and-acceleration/) (5 papers) — 5 · 7.8% ## Subtopic comparison matrix Curriculum order is by syllabus number, then alphabetically.

They are ordered by syllabus number, then alphabetically, and each row opens a page of matching past-paper questions. **How are the subtopic question and mark totals calculated?** A multiple-choice question contributes one item and its marks to every subtopic it is tagged with. A structured question contributes one item per tagged part, and that part’s marks; untagged parts of the same question are not counted here. A part tagged to several subtopics therefore appears under each of them. **Why do some subtopics have no numbered prefix?** Practical-skills statements and some syllabus bullets are unnumbered. Numbered statements come first; unnumbered statements and ties are sorted alphabetically. **Is the LaTeX rendered without JavaScript?** Yes. Subtopics that contain formulas are converted to static KaTeX HTML during the build, and the KaTeX stylesheet is served from the same site. --- Full page with native tables, bar charts and Practice Hub links: https://www.examsci.com/topics/cie-ial/physics/9702-paper-2/equations-of-motion/
