Every GCSE Science sheet published in February 2024, with answers. Biology, chemistry and physics recall, definition and calculation, drawn from every strand.
Every sheet in February 2024
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st February 2024A ball decelerates uniformly from 18 m/s to 0 m/s over a distance of 2.7 m while being caught. Using (final velocity)^2 = (initial velocity)^2 + 2 x acceleration x distance, calculate its deceleration.
