Frage Antworten
Force A push or pull experienced by an object when it interacts with another
Interaction What happens when two objects collide or influence each other at a distance
Interaction pair Two forces that arise from the same interaction (equal size- opposite direction)
Contact forces Forces that arise from two objects touching
Friction The force exerted on an object due to the interaction between it and another object it is sliding over. Caused by roughness of both surfaces at a microscopic level
Resultant force The sum of all the forces acting on an object (taking direction into account)
Reaction of a surface The force exerted by a hard surface on an object that presses on it
Air resistance The force exerted on an object by the air when it moves through it
Distance The length of the path along which an object has moved
Displacement The length and direction of the straight line from the initial position of an object to its position at a later time
Average speed The distance moved by an object divided by the time taken for this to happen
Instantaneous speed The speed of an object at a particular instant
Velocity The speed of an object in a given direction
Acceleration The rate of change of an object’s velocity (its change of velocity per second)
Distance-time graph A graph showing the distance an object has moved along its path at each moment during its journey
Slope The slope of a graph is a measure of its steepness
Velocity-time graph Way of summarising the motion of an object by showing its velocity at every instant during its journey
Momentum A property of any moving object. Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Risk The probability of an outcome that is seen as undesirable associated with some behaviour ot process
Driving force The force pushing something forward
Counter-force A force in the opposite direction to something’s motion
Work Work is done whenever a force makes something move. Work = force x distance moved in the direction of the force. Equal to the amount of energy transferred
Gravitational potential energy The energy stored when an object is raised to a higher point in the Earth’s gravitational field
Kinetic energy The energy that something has owing to its motion
Conservation of energy The total amount of energy at the end of any process is always equal to the total amount of energy at the beginning
What is speed? Distance travelled in a certain time
What is the formula for speed (including the units)? Speed (m/s) = Distance travelled (m) / Time taken (s)
What does this line represent in a Distance-Time Graph? Constant speed
What does this line represent in a Distance-Time graph? Stationary
What does this line represent in a Distance-Time graph? Acceleration
What does this line represent in a Distance-Time Graph? Constant speed in the other direction (returning to start)
How to calculate the speed from a distance-time graph? Gradient = Change in x / Change in y
What does the gradient tell you in a Distance-Time graph? Larger Gradient = Steeper Slope = Faster Speed Smaller Gradient = Gradual Slope = Slower speed
What is the only exception in Displacement -Time Graph that differentiate from a distance-time graph? The gradient tells you the velocity
What is the difference between speed and velocity? Speed is just a number, velocity tells you both the speed AND direciton
What is the formula for Acceleration (with units) ?
What does the gradient tell you in a Velocity-Time Graph? Steeper Gradient = Acceleration / Deceleration
What does this line represent in a Velocity-Time graph? Acceleration
What does this line represent in a Velocity-Time Graph? Constant speed
What does this line tell you in a velocity-time graph? Increasing acceleration
What does this line tell you in a velocity-time graph? Deceleration
What is the formula for Momentum?
What is the formula for the Change in Momentum?
4 Car-Safety Features that reduce forces Crumple zones, airbags, Seat-Belts, Cycle and Motorcycle Helmets,
What is the formula for the Work Done by a Force?
What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?
What is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy?
What is the formula that connects both KE and GPE? KE gained = GPE lost
