Question 1
Question
How can you measure the speed of an object?
Question 2
Question
The faster the speed of an object:
Answer
-
the greater the distance it travels
-
the lighter the object is
-
the shorter the time it takes to travel a particular distance
-
the quicker the acceleration of the object
-
the larger the surface area of the object, therefore creating more drag
Question 3
Answer
-
distance * time
-
((u+v)/2) * t
-
distance / time
-
speed / distance
Question 4
Question
Why is average distance used?
Answer
-
to make the answer more reliable
-
the speed may change over a given distance, so the average distance over the whole journey is used
-
the speed may change direction, so it is better to use an average DISTANCE instead of speed

Answer
-
Cut the graph into triangles and rectangles, then find the area for each shape and add them all up
-
multiply the y-axis by the x-axis
Question 22

accelerate
-
decellerate
-
to be heavier
Question 24
Question

Answer
-
gravity
-
force
-
more acceleration
Question 25
Question

Answer
-
Air resistance
-
Friction
-
Gravity
Question 27
Question
What happens to a sky-diver mid-jump when air resistance and weight are balanced?
Question 28
Question
if an unbalanced force acts, the acceleration of an object will depend on: ?
Answer
-
the force applied to the object
-
the mass of the object
-
the speed of the object
-
the surface area of the object (larger surface area will create more drag)
-
the density of the object
Question 29
Question
more mass = ... ?
Answer
-
= more acceleration
-
= less acceleration
-
= less kinetic energy
