How quickly velocity is changing, can be speed, direction or both
4 of 18
Equation for Accelaration
Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken
5 of 18
Velocity Time Graph
Gradient=acceleration, Flat sections=steady speed, Steeper=greater acceleration, Curve=change of acceleration, DISTANCE TRAVELLED = AREA UNDER GRAPH
6 of 18
Weight
Force exerted by Gravitational Pull measured in Newtons, 10N on earth for GP
7 of 18
Mass
Amount of matter inside of you, NOT A FORCE, measured in Kg
8 of 18
Equation for Weight
Weight= Mass x Gravitational Pull
9 of 18
Objects moving at a steady speed
NO RESULTANT FORCE
10 of 18
Equation for Force
Force = Mass x Acceleration
11 of 18
Friction
Slows down or stops object moving, Larger surface area means more drag
12 of 18
Terminal Velocity
Highest velocity attainable by an object as it falls through air
13 of 18
Stages of Terminal Velocity
1. Object accelerates as accelerating force is greater 2. With speed increase = Resistance increases 3. Forces become balanced coming to Terminal Velocity
14 of 18
Factors that affect Thinking Distance
Drugs, Alcohol, Reaction time, Tiredness
15 of 18
Factors that affect Braking Distance
Speed of car, Road Surface, Speed you are going, Mass of car, Quality of Brakes
