Question
Answer
show A physical quantity with magnitude ( size) but not direction e.g. speed, distance, pressure, potential difference, density, energy  
🗑
show A physical quantity with magnitude ( size) and direction e.g. velocity, acceleration, force.  
🗑
Displacement   show
🗑
Instantaneous speed   show
🗑
Average speed   show
🗑
Velocity (v)   show
🗑
show The rate of change of velocity. Acceleration= change in velocity/ time a= ∆v/∆t a= ((v-u))/t  
🗑
Newtons second law   show
🗑
The newton   show
🗑
Drag   show
🗑
show The gravitational force acting on an object measured in newtons Weight = mass x acceleration due to free fall W=mg  
🗑
show The velocity at which an object’s drag equals its accelerating force. Therefore there is no resultant force and zero acceleration  
🗑
Equilibrium   show
🗑
Centre of gravity   show
🗑
Triangle of forces   show
🗑
Couple   show
🗑
Torque of a couple   show
🗑
show The turning effect due to a single force. Calculated from the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from a given point Moment = force x perpendicular distance from a given point (pivot/fulcrum). Moment = Fx  
🗑
Principle of moments   show
🗑
Density   show
🗑
show Force per unit area Note 1Pa=1Nm-2 P=F/A  
🗑
Thinking distance   show
🗑
Braking distance   show
🗑
Stopping distance   show
🗑
show An area of a vehicle designed to increase the distance over which the vehicle decelerates and so reduce the average force acting.  
🗑
Work done by a force(W)   show
🗑
The joule   show
🗑
Conservation of energy   show
🗑
show Rate of work done Power = workdone/time Power=(energy transfer)/time  
🗑
The watt   show
🗑
efficiency   show
🗑
Tensile force   show
🗑
show Two or more forces that have the effect on reducing the volume of the object on which they are acting or reducing the length.  
🗑
show The change in length of an object when subjected to a tension.  
🗑
Elastic limit   show
🗑
Limit of proportionality   show
🗑
Hooke’s law   show
🗑
Force constant(k)   show
🗑
Elastic potential energy   show
🗑
stress   show
🗑
strain   show
🗑
Young’s modulus (Y)   show
🗑
show The maximum tensile force that can be applied to an object before it breaks.  
🗑
Breaking stress   show
🗑
show The object will return to its original shape when the deforming force is removed  
🗑
Plastic deformation   show
🗑
show Materials that have a large plastic region and can therefore can be drawn into a wire e.g. copper  
🗑
show A material that distorts very little even when subject to a large stress and does not exhibit any plastic deformation e.g. concrete.  
🗑
show A material made of many smaller molecules bonded together, often making a tangle knot of chains e.g. rubber. These materials often exhibit very large strains e.g. 300%  
🗑


   

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.
