|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| For an object moving at steady speed in a straight line, SPEED = | show | Units are metres per second ( m/s )
🗑
|
||||||
| If an object moves in a straight line, its distance from a certain point can be represented by . . . | a distance-time graph | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | horizontal straight line. | It hasn't gone anywhere!
🗑
|
||||||
| When a body is moving with constant speed its distance-time graph is a . . . | show | It travels equal distances in equal times.
🗑
|
||||||
| The VELOCITY of an object is . . . | its SPEED in a given DIRECTION | show 🗑
|
||||||
| The motion of a body can be represented by a . . . | show | Not the same as a distance-time graph.
🗑
|
||||||
| On a velocity-time graph, a horizontal straight line represents a body which is . . . | moving with constant speed in a straight line. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | constant acceleration. | Its velocity is increasing if the slope is positive.
🗑
|
||||||
| If a velocity-time graph shows a curved line then the body is . . . | changing its acceleration. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | the greater the acceleration. | Think what a rocket does.
🗑
|
||||||
| For an object moving in a straight line with a steady acceleration, ACCELERATION= | change in velocity / time taken for change | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | speed of a body. | Steeper gradient = higher speed.
🗑
|
||||||
| The gradient of a velocity-time graph represents the . . . | show | Steeper gradient = greater acceleration.
🗑
|
||||||
| The distance travelled by a body can be found by working out the . . . | AREA underneath a velocity-time graph. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | EQUILIBRIUM | It cannot speed up or slow down.
🗑
|
||||||
| When an object rests on a surface its weight exerts a downwards force on the surface. The surface will . . . | show | The size of the two forces is the same - they balance.
🗑
|
||||||
| show | EQUAL and OPPOSITE | This is Newton's 3rd law.
🗑
|
||||||
| show | remain stationary or if it is already moving, it will continue to move at constant speed in a straight line in the same direction. | This is Newton's 1st law.
🗑
|
||||||
| If the forces acting on an object do not cancel out, an unbalanced force will act. This will cause the object to . . . | show | This is Newton's 2nd law.
🗑
|
||||||
| Force, mass and acceleration are related by the equation, FORCE = | mass x acceleration | show 🗑
|
||||||
| The unit of FORCE (appropriately) is the . . . | show | 1N gives 1kg an acceleration of 1m/s^2
🗑
|
||||||
| If the unbalanced force which acts on a body is kept constant but the mass of the body is increased, the acceleration will be . . . | decreased. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| If the mass of a body is constant but the resultant external force increases, the acceleration will . . . | show | Acceleration is directly proportional to resultant force.
🗑
|
||||||
| show | greater. | It is necessary to apply a larger force to overcome the effect of the frictional force.
🗑
|
||||||
| show | in the opposite direction to the motion of a body. | Friction acts to reduce the speed of a body.
🗑
|
||||||
| show | otherwise the tyres would not grip the road. | The tyre pushes against the road, which pushes back by Newton's 3rd law.
🗑
|
||||||
| Air resistance is a form of friction (drag) which limits the top speed of a racing car because . . . | show | The car has reached TERMINAL VELOCITY
🗑
|
||||||
| show | he reaches a terminal velocity and no longer accelerates. | Newton's 1st law again
🗑
|
||||||
| show | there is no resultant force acting on a body. | If forces are balanced, acceleration is zero.
🗑
|
||||||
| A force of friction acts when an object moves . . . | through air or water. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Friction causes objects to . . . | heat up and wear away. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Friction is used to slow down and stop moving vehicles by applying . . . | show | Friction between brake pads and wheel drum ( or disks) creates a lot of excess heat energy.
🗑
|
||||||
| In order to stop a vehicle moving at high speed we need . . . | show | To stop it within a given distance.
🗑
|
||||||
| For a given braking force, if a vehicle moves at a higher speed it . . . | travels further before stopping. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | SKID | Because the wheels will lock and the tyres will slide against the road surface.
🗑
|
||||||
| Stopping distance also depends on . . . | the driver's reaction time. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| The braking distance depends on . . . | show | If there is water or ice on the road, the car may skid.
🗑
|
||||||
| The faster an object moves through a gas or liquid (fluid) the greater the . . . | friction or drag acting on it. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| When a body falls, it accelerates initially due to the force of . . . | show | All bodies accelerate at approximately 10 m/s^2 on Earth.
🗑
|
||||||
| When a car has a steady speed, the frictional forces balance the . . . | driving force produced by the engine. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| When a sky diver pulls the ripcord he slows down because the parachute exerts a large . . . | upward force. | show 🗑
