Resumo de Recurso
GCSE AQA Physics 3 Forces
Moments
Moment = Force x Distance from line of action of force to pivot
Larger force = larger moment
Same force can exert larger moment if distance from pivot is greater
To get max. moment - need to push at right angle
Total clockwise moments = Total anticlockwise moments
Levers use balanced moments
Increase distance from pivot at which force is applied
Less force is needed to get same moment
Levers are force multipliers
Make it easier to do work
Centre of Mass
Point at which whole mass is concentrated
Freely suspended object will swing until its centre of mass is vertically below the point of suspension
Finding the COM of a flat shape:
Suspend shape & plumb line from same point - stop moving
Draw line along plumb line
Repeat with shape suspended from different pivot point
COM is where 2 lines cross
With symmetrical shape - can find it using lines of symmetry
Stability
If moments aren't equal - will be resultant force
Most stable objects have wide base & low centre of mass
Object will tip over if the line of action of the weight of the object lies outside of the base of the object - causes a resultant moment
Pendulum
Time taken to swing from one side to other & back - time period
Always the same for each swing of given pendulum
Time Period = 1 / Frequency
Longer pendulum - greater time period
Hydraulics
Liquids are virtually incompressible & can flow
Force applied to one point in liquid transmitted to other points in liquid
Pressure in a liquid is transmitted equally in all directions
Pressure = Force / Cross-sectional area
Hydraulic systems - force multipliers
2 pistons - 1 with smaller cross-sectional area
Pressure at both pistons is same
At 1st piston - pressure exerted using small force over small area
Pressure transmitted to 2nd piston - has larger SA so there is larger force
Used in car braking systems & car jacks
Circular Motion
Velocity is speed & direction - object travelling in circle is constantly changing direction
Velocity is constantly changing (not speed) so is accelerating towards centre of circle
Must be resultant force causing acceleration - acts towards centre
Centripetal force
Faster moving object = bigger CF
Larger mass = bigger CF
Smaller radius = bigger CF
