Scalar and vector quantities, finding resultants using scale diagrams and the triangle method, and resolving vectors into components.

Types of forces, weight, turning effects and moments, the principle of moments, levers, centre of gravity, stability, and Hooke's Law.

Distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, motion graphs, Newton's three laws, linear momentum, and conservation of momentum in collisions.

Work done by a force, kinetic and gravitational potential energy, conservation of energy, power, efficiency, and alternative energy sources in the Caribbean.

Pressure as force per area, fluid pressure with depth, Archimedes' Principle, and the conditions for floating and sinking.

Caloric versus kinetic theory of heat, the phases of matter, temperature measurement and thermometer types, the Celsius and Kelvin scales, and thermal expansion of solids, liquids, and gases.
