When something is falling, GPE is being converted into KE. This means that the further it goes, the faster it falls (well, until it reaches terminal velocity), as it is gaining more KE the further it has fallen. This equation may be useful to remember...
Kinetic energy gained = gravitational potential energy lost
A blog covering and explaining the Edexcel IGCSE Physics specification for the 2016 summer exams. If you are doing just double science, you do not need to learn the stuff for paper two, if you are doing triple you will need to learn all (GOOD LUCK!) I have separated the papers to make files easier to find. Hope it helps :)
