What is a Scalar Quantity?
It has magnitude
1 of 31
What is a Vector Quantity?
Has magnitude and direction
2 of 31
What is a contact force?
The objects are actually touching
3 of 31
What are non-contact forces?
The objects aren't touching
4 of 31
What is the equation for weight?
mass x gravitational field strength
5 of 31
What is an resultant force?
When more than one force acts on an object
6 of 31
What is the equation for work Done?
force x distance
7 of 31
What is elastically deformed?
If the object returns to its original shape after the forces are removed
8 of 31
What is inelastically deformed?
if the object doesn't return to to its original shape
9 of 31
What is the equation for spring constant?
force/ extension
10 of 31
What is a fluid?
Can be either a liquid or gas
11 of 31
What is the equation for pressure?
force normal to a surface/area of that surface
12 of 31
What is the atmosphere?
relatively thin layer of air around the earth
13 of 31
what is the equation for the pressure in a column?
height of the column x density of the liquid x gravitational field strengh
14 of 31
What is upthrust?
The upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object
15 of 31
What is distance?
it is a scalar quantity and shows how far an object moves
16 of 31
What is displacement?
It is a vector quantity which has a magnitude that describes how far the object has travelled from its origin, measure in a straight line
17 of 31
What is speed?
Measures how fast an object is travelling
18 of 31
What is the equation for distance travelled?
speed x time
19 of 31
What is velocity?
A vector quantity which is the speed of an object in a given direction
20 of 31
What is Newtons First Law?
An object will remain in the same state of motion unless acted on by an external force
21 of 31
What is intertia?
The tendency for objects to continue in the same state of motion
22 of 31
What is an distance time graph?
Represents the motion of an object travelling in a straight line
23 of 31
What is Acceleration?
Measures how quickly it speeds up, slows down or changes direction
24 of 31
What is the equation for acceleration?
change in velocity/time taken
25 of 31
What is Newtons Second Law?
the acceleration of an object is proportional o the resultant force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
26 of 31
What is terminal velocity?
The point in which the object falls at a steady speed
27 of 31
What is Newtons Third Law?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
28 of 31
What is the equation for momentum?
mass x velocity
29 of 31
What is the thinking distance?
The distance travelled during the drivers reaction time
30 of 31
What is the braking distance?
The distance travelled under the braking force
