Forces

?
What is Scalar?
Only size; Area
1 of 34
What is Vector?
Size (magnitude) & direction, face, velocity & acceleration
2 of 34
What is Contact?
Touching each other, friction, upthrust, float
3 of 34
What is Non- Contact?
objects don't touch, gravity, magnetism
4 of 34
What is Weight?
weight(newtons) = mass (Kg) x gravity (N/KG on earth; grav =10)
5 of 34
What is Newtons?
unit of force
6 of 34
What is Mass?
matter with no definite shape
7 of 34
What is Gravity?
Force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth
8 of 34
What is Resultant force?
Diagram, more than one force acts on an object, be seen as single force
9 of 34
What is Work done?
Transferring energy to one thing to another. J= work done = force x distanced moved
10 of 34
What is Joules?
Newton meters
11 of 34
What is Newtons meters?
Joules
12 of 34
What is Energy transfer?
Types
13 of 34
What is Elastic Deformation?
Goes back to original shape
14 of 34
What is Inelastic Deformation?
doesn't go back to original shape
15 of 34
What is Directly Proportional?
X & Y are directly proportional if ratio YX is constant
16 of 34
What is limit proportional?
expand; greatest stress applied to elastic body force
17 of 34
What is Force?
Force = spring constant x extension
18 of 34
What is Distance?
Length; distance travelled scalar
19 of 34
What is Displacement?
Vector
20 of 34
What is Speed?
Speed = distance / time
21 of 34
What is Distance Time Graph?
Speed continuously changing
22 of 34
What is Acceleration?
Rate of change in velocity / time
23 of 34
What is Velocity time graph?
Speed in direction, velocity = displacement / time
24 of 34
What is Newtons first law?
Nothing changes unless force
25 of 34
What is Newtons second law?
force = mass x acceleration
26 of 34
What is Resultant force?
Causes a change
27 of 34
What is Newtons 3rd law?
Every force equal & opposite force
28 of 34
What is Stopping distance?
stopping distance = thinking distance + breaking distance
29 of 34
What is Thinking Distance?
Distance travelled during the drivers reaction time
30 of 34
What is Breaking Distance?
Distance travelled under breaking force
31 of 34
What is Therminal Velocity?
When an object falls through a fluid
32 of 34
What are the factors affecting breaking distance?
Road conditions, snowy roads, worn tires / breaks, over/ under inflated tyres
33 of 34
What is an Elastic Object?
Higher spring constant, stiffer the spring
