KS3 Speed Pressure and Moments

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What unit is used for the moments   the unit is N.m (N x m)  
🗑
When you jump out of a plane and you open your parachute, describe the forces on you and your speed after a few minutes opening it?   forces (air resistance and gravity) are balanced and you are moving at a constant speed.  
🗑
Why would you stay the same speed in a moving car?   because the forces on you are balanced.  
🗑
Describe a force.   A force is push, pull or twist.  
🗑
What force keeps us on the earth?   Answer: Gravity  
🗑
How would you measure a force?   Answer: With Newtons  
🗑
How do you work out Moments   Answer: Mass x distance to pivot  
🗑
Explain the difference between mass and weight   Weight is the force that pulls you down; mass is the Number of atoms in the body  
🗑
What will be different on the moon than on the earth: mass or weight?   Answer: The weight  
🗑
In a tug of war, when one team is pulling with a force of 100 N to the leftand the other 80 N to the right, what is the net force?   Answer: 20N to the left  
🗑
What is the force that keeps you afloat in water?   Answer: Upthrust  
🗑
Which of these will help a car go faster?   Answer: Streamlining  
🗑
What is the equation to work out the pressure?   force divided by area  
🗑
What is the equation to work out the area?   force divided by pressure  
🗑
What is the equation to work out the force?   pressure times the area  
🗑
What unit measures force?   newtons  
🗑
What is the equation to work out the distance?   speed times the time  
🗑
What is the equation to work out the time?   distance divided by speed  
🗑
What is the equation to work out the speed?   distance divided by time  
🗑
What is the effect of unbalanced forces on a moving object?   direction may change, or the object may slow down, or it may accelerate(go faster)  
🗑
What is a force ?   a force is a push or pull movement  
🗑
Name three types of forces?   gravity, up thrust and air resistance  
🗑
Is gravity a push or pull force?   pull  
🗑
Is up thrust a push or pull force?   push  
🗑
Is air resistance a push or pull force?   push  
🗑
Which force pulls you down when sky-diving?   gravity  
🗑
Which force slows you down while sky-diving?   air resistance  
🗑
Where does upthrust occur?   in water  
🗑
When you drive in a car which force hits against a car?   air resistance  
🗑
Which force keeps us on the ground so we don’t float away?   gravity.  
🗑
Forces can make things change shape, speed or direction true or false   True  
🗑
This person is pushing down on the chair with force of 650N. What other force is acting to make it balanced   Reaction of the floor  
🗑
In which direction does gravitational force apply   downwards  
🗑
Suggest what would happen to the weight of an astronaut who travelled to space   the weight will be the different because only the mass does not change but when you’re in space your weight changes it becomes lighter.  
🗑
What happens to air resistance as you move faster   ’ air resistance increases as there are more particles to hit you  
🗑
Why do dolphins have a streamlined shape   it enable them to move through water with the least possible water resistance.  
🗑
What happens to the air resistance when the parachute is opened   when the parachute opens the air resistance will become much greater which slows the person riding it  
🗑
What happens after the parachute is open for few seconds   As his speed reduces the air resistance will become less and eventually the forces will be the same again.  
🗑
When sheley Rudman won her gold medal in the bobsleigh skeleton suggest one thing she have done to make sure she went fast as possible   by making smaller surface area  
🗑
what is air resistance?   air resistance is the opposite force to movement and air resistance is created by particles!  
🗑
Explain why air resistance increases when you move faster?   more particles  
🗑
what does weight mean?   pull of gravity  
🗑
list 2 common units you can measure speed?   mph,km  
🗑
fill in the blank    
🗑
if the forces on an object are balanced and the object is .............it will remain stationary   answer is stationary  
🗑
name contact forces   friction, upthrust, air resistance  
🗑
name non contact forces   gravity, magnetic field  
🗑
what is friction?   friction is a force that slows you down, created when one object rubs against another!  
🗑
What type of line of a distance graph shows that the moving object has stopped?   A straight horizontal line  
🗑
What is a stationary object?   An object that isn’t moving  
🗑
Complete the sentence “The smaller the surface area, the more ...”   Pressure  
🗑
Air Resistance is created out of ...   Particles hitting the moving object  
🗑
How do you work out the moment?   mass x distance  
🗑
Which of either the moon or the earth has more gravity?   The Earth  
🗑
True or false; Your body would float in water?   True  
🗑
How do you work our pressure?   force over area  
🗑
How do you work out the area?   Force over pressure  
🗑
How do you work out the force?   pressure times area  
🗑
Complete the sentence “Air resistance ... the car down.”   slows  
🗑
Complete the sentence “The more ... the more pressure”   force  
🗑
Define up thrust   up thrust is the upward force that liquid or gas use on a body floating in it.  
🗑
Define gravity   is the force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth  
🗑
When are forces balanced?   Forces are balanced when they are equal in SIZE but opposite in direction: the forces cancel each other out.  
🗑
When are forces unbalanced?   Forces are unbalanced when one has a bigger force than the other  
🗑
What would an accelerating object look like on a speed time graph?   Sloping upwards.  
🗑
Which direction does air resistance go?   Opposite to the movement.  
🗑
How will a see-saw balance?   When the distance x weight on both sides is the same.  
🗑
On the can experiment, why did the can collapse?   Because of there was more pressure on the outside of the can than there was pressure inside the can  
🗑
On a distance vs time graph, what does a straight line mean?   The object is going at the same speed  
🗑
On a distance vs time graph, what does a flat line mean?   The object is not moving

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.
