Physics Topic 1- Motion and Forces
  1. Vector Quantities
    1. Vector quantities have both magnitude and an associated direction
      1. Examples of vector quantities
        1. Force
          1. Weight
            1. Displacement
              1. Velocity
                1. Acceleration
                  1. Momentum
                2. Motion
                  1. Speed= Distance/ Time
                    1. Speed measurement practicals
                      1. Ruler and stopwatch- Ruler measures distance travelled, stopwatch measures time taken
                        1. Light gates- Size of object measured with ruler, light gate connects to a timer which gives the reading
                          1. Video analysis- Distance moved from frame to frame observed on a ruler in the pictures, time between frames is known
                          2. Acceleration= change in velocity/ time taken
                            1. (final velocity) squared- (initial velocity) squared = 2 x acceleration x distance
                              1. An object will only accelerate if a resultant force acts on it
                                1. Gravitational attraction provides the centripetal force needed to keep a planet in orbit around the Sun
                                2. Scalar Quantites
                                  1. Scalar quantities only have a magnitude or size
                                    1. Examples of scalar quantities
                                      1. Temperature
                                        1. Mass
                                          1. Energy
                                            1. Distance
                                              1. Speed
                                                1. Density
                                              2. Newtons Laws
                                                1. First law of motion- an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force acts on it
                                                  1. If the forces acting on an object are balanced, the resultant force is zero
                                                  2. Second law of motion- resultant force= mass x acceleration
                                                    1. The ratio of force over acceleration is called inertial mass. Inertial mass is a measure of how difficult it is to change the velocity of an object
                                                      1. Practical
                                                      2. Third law of motion- every action has an equal or opposite reaction
                                                        1. Weight= mass x gravitational field strength
                                                        2. Momentum
                                                          1. Momentum = mass x velocity
                                                            1. In a closed system (not affected by external forces) total momentum before an event = total momentum after an event
                                                              1. Force= change in momentum/ time taken
                                                              2. Motion of Vehicles
                                                                1. Stopping distance= thinking distance+ breaking distance
                                                                  1. Reaction time- ruler drop test
                                                                    1. When a force is applied to the breaks of a vehicle, there is work done by the friction between the breaks and the wheel. This reduces the kinetic energy of the vehicle.
                                                                      1. Kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x (velocity) squared
                                                                        1. Work Done= Kinetic Energy
                                                                        Zusammenfassung anzeigen Zusammenfassung ausblenden
