Speed has a size but velocity has what?
a size and direction
13 of 73
What is Velocity?
Velocity is speed in a stated direction
14 of 73
All vector quantities can be given what?
positive and negative values to show their direction
15 of 73
How do you calculate speed?
Speed (m/s)= change in direction (m) / time taken (s)
16 of 73
The greater the change in distance, the what?
faster the object is moving
17 of 73
When the change in distance over a period of time is zero, the speed is what?
zero and the object is stationary
18 of 73
How do you calculate average speed?
average speed (m/s)= total distance travelled (m)/ total time taken (s)
19 of 73
Distance/ time graphs have what ?
distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The gradient or slope of the graph tells us about the motion of the object
20 of 73
on a distance/time graph what does a steep line show?
the object is moving much faster than before
21 of 73
on a distance/time graph what does a horizontal line show?
the object is stationary
22 of 73
on a distance/time graph what does a sloping line show?
shows the object is moving. The gradient of the line is shallow, showing that the object is moving slowly
23 of 73
What is Acceleration?
is a change in velocity per second. Acceleration is a vector quantity
24 of 73
What is Velocity?
is the change in distance per second. Velocity is a vector quantity
25 of 73
How do you calculate acceleration?
acceleration (m/s^2)= change in velocity (m/s) / time taken (s)
26 of 73
How do you calculate acceleration?
a= (v-u)/ t
27 of 73
In the equation a= (v-u)/ t what is a?
a is the acceleration
28 of 73
a= (v-u)/ t what is v?
v is the final velocity
29 of 73
a= (v-u)/ t what is u?
u is the initial velocity
30 of 73
a= (v-u)/ t what is t?
t is the time taken
31 of 73
What do Velocity/time graphs show?
how the velocity of a vehicle changes with time. You can also work out acceleration and distance travelled from the graph
32 of 73
On a velocity/time graph what is plotted on the y-axis?
velocity
33 of 73
On a velocity/time graph what is plotted on the x-axis?
time
34 of 73
On a velocity/time graph What does the slope or gradient of the graph tell us?
the acceleration of the vechile
35 of 73
On a velocity/time graph What does the area underneath the graph tell us?
the distance travelled
36 of 73
How do you calculate acceleration (gradient)
acceleration (gradient) = change in velocity/ change in time
37 of 73
How can you measure speed of objects in the lab?
by using light gates connected to a computer or data logger

A body will remain at rest or continue in a straight line at a constant speed as long as what?
the forces acting on it are balanced
48 of 73
When a resultant force acts on a mass then there will be what?
a change in its velocity. The resultant force determines the size and direction of the subsequent acceleration of the mass
49 of 73
When two or more forces act on the same straight line or are parallel, they can be added together to find what?
the resultant force
50 of 73
How can you calculate the acceleration of an object?
acceleration (m/s^2)= force (N) / mass (Kg)
51 of 73
The acceleration is in the same direction as what?
the force
52 of 73
When the resultant force is zero, the acceleration is what?
zero
53 of 73
A negative force means what?
the object is accelerating backwards or is slowing down
54 of 73
What is weight?
is the force that a body experiences due to its mass and the size of the gravitational field that it is in
55 of 73
What is the resultant force?
two or more forces acting on an object can be replaced by one force
56 of 73
What quantity is weight?
vector. it is measured in newtons
57 of 73
The weight of a body on the surface of Earth acts inwards towards what?
the Earth's centre
58 of 73
How do you calculate the weight of an object?
weight (N)= mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
59 of 73
How is weight measured?
using a newtonmeter
