Questão Responda
What do we mean by 'work' in science? Work is done on an object when a force makes the object move.
What is the relationship between work and energy? Energy transferred=work done
How do we calculate the work done by force? Work done(joules)=force(newtons)*distance moved in the direction of the force(metres)
What happens to work done to overcome friction? Work done to overcome friction is transferred as energy that heats the objects that rub together and the surroundings.
What does the gravitational potential energy of an object depend on? The gravitational potential energy of an object depend on its weight and how fat it move vertically.
How can we calculate the change of gravitational potential energy of an object when it moves up or down? The gravitational potential energy of an object increases when the object goes up and decreases when the object goes down.
What does the kinetic energy of an object depend on? On its mass and speed.
How can we calculate kinetic energy? Kinetic energy(J)=0.5*mass(kg)*speed squared(metres per second squared)
What is elastic potential energy? Is the energy stored in an elastic object when work is done on the object.
How can we calculate momentum? Momentum=mass*velocity
What is the unit of momentum? kg m/s
Why does momentum have a direction as well as a size? Momentum is mass*velocity and velocity is speed in a certain direction.
When two objects push each other apart do they move away at different speeds? If they have unequal masses.
When two objects push each other apart why is their momentum zero? Equal and opposite momentum so their total momentum is zero.
When vehicles collide, what does the force of impact depend on? The force of the impact depends on mass, change of velocity, and the duration of the impact.
How does the impact force depend on the impact time? The longer the impact time is, the more the impact force is reduced.
What can we say about the impact forces and the total momentum when two vehicles collide? When two vehicles collide: they exert equal and opposite forces on each other and their total momentum is unchanged.
Why do seat belts and air bags reduce the force on people in car accidents? Seat belts and air bags spread the force across the chest and they can also increase impact time.
How do side impact bars and crumple zones work? Impact bars and crumple zones 'gives way' in an impact so increasing the impact time.
How can we work out if a car in a crash was 'speeding'? We can use the conservation of momentum to find the speed of a car before an impact.
