Resumo de Recurso

Questão Responda
Resultant Force The overall force on a point or object.
Velocity How fast you are going with a distance.
Gradient Change in distance divided by the change in time.
Acceleration How quickly the velocity is changing.
Gravitational Force Force of attraction between all masses.
Stopping Distance Thinking distance + Braking Distance
Speed How fast you are going.
Terminal Velocity How fast an object can possibly fall.
Light Depentant Resistor More Light = More resistance
Acceleration A change in velocity in a positive way i.e. an object getting faster.
Thinking distance The length a vehicle travels while the driver is reacting to a situation.
Braking distance The length a vehicle moves from the moment the brakes are applied to when it has come to a complete stop.
Motion The process of an object changing position, orientation or location.
Weight mass x gravity measured in kg
mass The amount of a substance. The mass stays the same regardless of where it is but how much it weighs will change depnding on the gravity.
Terminal velocity The fastest speed possible. Happens when the opposing forces (e.g. gravity and air resistance) are balanced.
Speed A way of measureing the distance travelled in a certain amount of time.
Gravitational force The amount of attraction an object has on other objects.
Resultant force The overall force acting on an object.
calculation for acceleration (v-u)/t
Limit of proportionality The point where a law no longer applies, e.g. Hooke's law, springs stretch proportionaly until the limit is reached then they over stretch and their elasticity is permanently changed.
Kinetic energy Energy present in any moving object. (All particles above 0K are moving so we only really class movement if it is visible)
Stopping distance The total length travelled by a vehicle from the moment a situation occurs until it has come to a complete stop. Thinking distance + Braking distance
LDR An electrical component. When the light level changes the resistance changes. Used in light sensors for street lamps.
Gravitational potential energy The energy stored in an object that has been raised about the surface of the planet.
Radioactive A substance that emits either alpha, beta or gamma radiation naturally.
