GCSE C21 P4 keywords - FC, Matching, Unscramble, Type In

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
speeding up (or slowing down)   acceleration  
🗑
how fast something is moving (distance / time)   speed  
🗑
mass x velocity   momentum (formula)  
🗑
the force of gravity on an object   weight  
🗑
speed and direction (at GCSE, backwards = negative)   velocity  
🗑
force that opposes motion between two surfaces   friction  
🗑
All forces come in equal and opposite pairs (Newton's third law) - each force has a   interaction pair force  
🗑
force that opposes the motion of an object - e.g Air Resistance or Drag, Rolling Friction Sliding Friction   counter force  
🗑
units of force   newton  
🗑
units for work or energy   joule  
🗑
when more than one force acts on one object, the overall force is called the   resultant  
🗑
A force that opposes motion such as Air (or water) Resistance   drag  
🗑
the energy an object has because it is high up (in a gravitational field)   gravitational potential energy (GPE)  
🗑
weight x height (raised up)   GPE (formula)  
🗑
speed at an instant (measured over a very short time period)   instantaneous speed  
🗑
speed measured over a whole journey (or over a longer time, where the speed might not stay constant)   average speed  
🗑
causes change in energy of an object   work done  
🗑
energy an object has because it is moving   kinetic energy  
🗑
1/2 mass x (speed squared)   kinetic energy (formula)  
🗑
frictional force from ground pushing object (foot, tyre etc) forwards - grip from the ground   driving force  
🗑
forwards force on a jet / rocket, from exhaust gases that are pushed backwards   thrust force  
🗑
the buoyancy force on an object that's in a fluid (e.g. water)   upthrust  
🗑
measured in kg, measures the amount of 'stuff' in an object   mass  
🗑
the force that exists between two objects because they are in contact with each other   reaction force  
🗑
force between two objects pushing them appart even when they are not in contact with each other   repulsive force  
🗑
an impact between two objects (could be an intended impact e.g. landing from a jump)   collision  
🗑
increase this to reduce the force in a collision   impact time  
🗑
forces on an object that produce zero resultant force   balanced forces  
🗑
a force used to slow an vehicle down   braking force  
🗑
negative acceleration, or slowing down   deceleration  
🗑


   

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.
