- Power
- Forces and their effects
- Speed is how fast you are going
- Velocity also has a direction
- Acceleration is how quickly velocity is changing
- Acceleration = Change in velocity / Time taken
- Acceleration is how quickly velocity is changing
- Speed = Distance / Time
- Distance time graphs describe something travelling through time and space
- Gradient tells you how fast the object is travelling
- Gradient = Speed
- Steeper the graph, the faster it's going
- Flat means it is stationary
- Gradient = Speed
- Gradient tells you how fast the object is travelling
- Velocity also has a direction
- Gravitational force is the force of attraction between all masses
- Weight and mass are not the same
- Mass is just the amount of stuff in an object
- Not a force
- Measured in kilograms
- Weight is the pull of the gravitational force
- Measured in newtons
- Weight = Mass x Gravitational field strength
- Mass is just the amount of stuff in an object
- Weight and mass are not the same
- Resultant forces
- This is the overall force on a point or object
- The overall effect of these forces will decide the motion of the object
- A resultant force means a change in velocity
- The overall effect of these forces will decide the motion of the object
- Any resultant force will produce acceleration
- Resultant force = mass x acceleration
- This is the overall force on a point or object
- Reaction forces
- They are equal and opposite
- Stopping distances
- Thinking distance is affected by:
- How fast you're going
- Tiredness, drugs and alcohol
- Braking distance is affected by:
- How fast you're going
- How good your brakes are
- How good the tyres are
- Weather conditions, road conditions
- Thinking distance is affected by:
- Work and potential energy
- When a force moves an object through a distance, energy is transferred and work is done
- Work done = Force x Distance
- Gravitational potential energy is energy due to height
- A.K.A. GPE
- Gravitational potential energy = mass x g x height
- Kinetic energy
- Energy of movement
- Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x speed squared
- Elastic potential energy
- F = k x e
- Untitled
- Momentum
- The greater the mass and the greater the velocity, the more momentum
- Total momentum before = Total momentum after
- This is the conservation of momentum
- Momentum = Mass x Velocity
- Speed is how fast you are going
- Power is when energy is transferred
- Power = Work done / Time taken
