What this AA SL kinematics worksheet covers

Displacement, velocity and acceleration as derivatives and integrals, with distance travelled and change of direction. The questions follow the order of the AA SL syllabus for Topic 5 (Calculus) and are graded in three bands — routine practice, exam-standard, and the harder multi-step questions that separate a 6 from a 7.

Velocity and acceleration by differentiation
Displacement by integration with initial conditions
Distance travelled vs displacement using |v|
Maximum speed and turning points
Exam tip for this topic. Distance travelled needs the integral of |v| — find where v = 0 first and split the interval.

How to use it

  1. Do the first band without the AA SL formula booklet, then check which formulas you had to look up — those are the ones to memorise.
  2. Time the second band at roughly 1.2 minutes per mark, the pace of Paper 1 and Paper 2.
  3. Mark the third band against the solutions and rewrite every question you lost marks on from a blank page.
