        Help!  

Question
Answer
Instantaneous Speed =   Distance / Time (small distance and short time)  
🗑
Average Speed =   Distance / Time (journey distance and journey time)  
🗑
Speed from a distance time graph…   find the gradient of the graph = vertical / horizontal  
🗑
In a distance time graph horizontal means   the object is stopped  
🗑
In a distance time graph the steeper the slope...   the faster the object is going  
🗑
In a distance time graph the downhill section means   the object is moving backwards / towards you  
🗑
Velocity is speed and   direction  
🗑
In a velocity time graph gradient represents....   acceleration  
🗑
In a velocity time graph horizontal means   constant speed  
🗑
In a velocity time graph the steeper the slope...   the greater the acceleration  
🗑
In a velocity time graph uphill sections indicate...   Acceleration or speeding up (positive acceleration)  
🗑
In a velocity time graph downhill sections indicate..   deceleration or slowing down (negative acceleration)  
🗑
Newton’s third law: if you push against a wall the wall...   pushes back on you  
🗑
Resultant force is...   the overall force acting on an object.  
🗑
Momentum =   mass x velocity  
🗑
Change in momentum =   FORCE x TIME (resultant FORCE x TIME for which the force acts)  
🗑
Change in energy is the same as   Work done  
🗑
Work Done =   Force x Distance  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   1/2 mass x velocity squared  
🗑
The formula for change in gravitational potential energy is   Weight x change in height  
🗑
Falling objects convert gravitational potential energy into   Kinetic energy  
🗑
Units for kinetic energy   J or joules  
🗑
Units for potential energy   J or joules  
🗑
Units for mass   kg or kilograms  
🗑
Units for speed (standard scientific units)   m/s or metres per second  
🗑
Units for momentum   kg m/s or kilogram metres per second  
🗑
Units for work done   J or joules  
🗑
Units for weight   N or newtons (weight is a force)  
🗑
Units for force   N or newtons  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
