Questions coming soon.
Understanding forces is essential for success in GCSE Physics. This page includes all my free GCSE Forces video lessons, practice questions, and answers to help you master the topic. You’ll find lessons covering the graphs of motion, Newton’s Laws, resultant forces, free-body and vector diagrams, all aligned with the AQA, OCR and Edexcel GCSE and IGCSE Physics specifications. You can also explore related topics like Electricity and Energy
Watch my free GCSE Physics video lessons on forces below. Each video explains a key concept with examples and exam-style questions.
Test your understanding with my practice questions that accompany the videos on Forces and Motion. Designed for AQA, OCR and Edexcel GCSE and IGCSE Physics students, these problems will help you apply what you’ve learned.
Check your answers to the GCSE Forces questions here. For each question there is a worked solution.
How do we use distance-time graphs? How do we find the speed or velocity from the graph? This video will help you answer these questions.
How do we interpret velocity-time graphs? How do we find acceleration and the total distance travelled? Watch the video to find out.
What is the difference between a vector and a scalar quantity? What are variables and what is magnitude? This video answers these questions.
How do we calculate acceleration? In this video I explain how to calculate acceleration using the change in velocity and time. We also look at how to calculate the distance travelled.
Learn about inertia and Newton's second law of motion. In this video we look at example calculations with resultant force and acceleration.
Many people get confused by the terms mass and weight. There is an important difference between them. Here I look at the difference between mass and weight and how to calculate weight.
How do we find the resultant force? What are balanced and unbalanced forces? In this video we look at Newton's first law of motion.
Questions coming soon.
Coming 20th November 2025
What is momentum and how do we calculate it? In this video I explain the conservation of momentum and show example calculations.
This is an additional video on the Forces and Motion topic.
Scalar properties only have a magnitude (a size). Vector properties have magnitude and direction. Forces are vectors and this video explains how to put different force vectors together.
