Forces

?
What are the forces like when two objects interact?
Equal and opposite
1 of 16
What is the resultant force?
A single force that can replace all forces and have the same effect as all original forces acting together
2 of 16
What may a resultant force acting on an object cause?
To change its state of rest or motion
3 of 16
What will happen to a stationary object if the RF is zero?
It will remain stationary
4 of 16
What will happen to a stationary object if the RF is not zero?
It will accelerate in direction of resultant force
5 of 16
What will happen to a moving object if the RF is zero?
It will continue to move at same speed and same direction
6 of 16
What will happen to a moving object if the RF is not zero?
It will accelerate in direction of resultant force
7 of 16
What is the equation for working out RF? Explain.
F = m x a - F= resultant force (N) - m= mass (kg) - a= acceleration (m/s²)
8 of 16
What does the gradient on a distance-time graph represent?
Speed
9 of 16
What is the equation for working out acceleration? Explain.
a = v - u / t - a= acceleration (m/s²) - v= final velocity (m/s) - u= inital velocity (m/s) - t- time (s)
10 of 16
What does gradient represent on a velocity-time graph?
Acceleration
11 of 16
What do the forces balance when a vehicle travels at a steady speed?
Resistive forces balance the driving force
12 of 16
What is the stopping distance the sum of?
Reaction time and the braking force
13 of 16
What can a driver's reaction time be affected by?
Tirdness, drugs and alcohol
14 of 16
What happens when the brakes of a vehicle are applied?
Work done by the friction force between the brakes and the wheel reduces kinetic energy and the temperature of the brakes increases.
15 of 16
What can a vehicle's braking distance be affected by?
Adverse road, weather conditions and poor condition of the vehicle
