- Motion
- scalars
- a quantity with magnitude but not direction
- e.g. potential difference, speed, pressure, distance
- Free fall
- g=9.81ms^-2
- Trap door method
- electromagnet just supports a steel ball
- when current through the electromagnetis switched off theball starts to fall and the clock is triggered.
- balls falls onto trap door
- when trap door breaks the clock is stopped.
- distance of fall is measured and so is the time taken.
- Repeats

- theory
- s=ut+1/2at^2 . u is 0 as ball starts from rest.
- this gives s=1/2gt^2 and hence g=2s/t^2.
- a graph of s against against t^2 will have a gradient of g/2.
- this gives s=1/2gt^2 and hence g=2s/t^2.
- s=ut+1/2at^2 . u is 0 as ball starts from rest.
- Random uncertainty
- em current too large cause a delay in releasing ball. current must only just support ball.
- If distance is too large or ball to small air resistance may have a noticeable effect.
- ensure that distance is measured accurately from base of ball to trap door not the electromagnet to door.
- electromagnet just supports a steel ball
- Vectors
- resolving
- horizontal and vertical components
- Calculations
- Trigonometry
- the length of the hypotenuse AC is 55.0mm and angle next to right angle is 72*.
- This makes the side adjacent to the angle 55.0xCos72*=17.0mm
- and the side opposite to the angle =55.0xSin72*=52.3mm
- the length of the hypotenuse AC is 55.0mm and angle next to right angle is 72*.
- Pythagorus
- A llorry's load hass a weight of 40000NN and it is being pulledd along by a horizontal force of 15000N what is the resultant of these two forces?
- Resultant^2= (4.0x10^4)^2 + (1.5x10^4)^2 = 18.25x10^8 so resultant=4.27x10^4N
- A llorry's load hass a weight of 40000NN and it is being pulledd along by a horizontal force of 15000N what is the resultant of these two forces?
- Trigonometry
- a quantity with both magnitude and direction
- e.g. electric current, velocity, displacement, acceleration, force.
- resolving
- constant acceleration equations
- s u v a t
- s = displacement
- m
- u = initial velocity v= end velocity
- ms^-11
- a = acceleration
- ms^-2
- t = time
- s
- s = displacement
- v=u+at
- s=1/2(u+v)t
- s=ut+1/2at^2
- v^2=u^2+2as
- s u v a t
- graphs of motion
- Displacement-time graphs
- Gradient = velocity
- velocity-time graphs
- gradient represents accelerration
