For the teacher

AQA GCSE Physics (8463) and Combined Science: Trilogy (8464), section 4.5.1.4 Resultant forces. Resolution of forces is Higher tier only, and is not physics only, so it is on the Trilogy Higher paper as well. The spec asks for scale drawings only, which is why this uses a squared grid and never sine or cosine. Skills: MS 4a, 5a, b.
