How to calculate a gradient
Choose 2 easy points on the graph. Read of the coordinates for both points. Find the difference between the two values for both x and y axes. Divide the change in the y values by the change in the x values

What is the relationship between average speed,distance moved and time.
Average speed=distance moved/time taken

Toy car experiment to investigate the motion of everyday objects
Put a ruler next to a length of wood, give the toy car a push down the wood, repeat, putting the length of wood at different heights each time.

Forces can effect objects by altering...
... speed, shape and direction
6 of 16
Give some examples of forces.
Air resistance, Friction(a force that opposes motion), gravitational pull, weight due to gravity, electrostatic(between charged objects), water resistance, reaction/contact force,upthrust.

Define a vector
A vector quantity has magnitude and direction
8 of 16
Define a scalar
a scalar quantity has magnitude only
9 of 16
How do you find a resultant force
To find a resultant force find the difference between the two forces acting on the object. But be careful to look at the direction of movement.

What are some factors effecting stopping distance
Alcohol,distractions,drug use, speed,tiredness,weather,condition of tyres/brakes,condition of road,speed,mass.
11 of 16
The relationship between the moment of a force and it's distance from pivot
moment=force x distance from pivot
12 of 16
What is meant by the term centre of gravity?
The weight of the body acts through it's centre of gravity
13 of 16
To find the speed of an object on a distance time graph.
speed=distance/time remember to rearrange the equation

How to find the centre of gravity in an irregular object
suspend the object from a stand using some string. Hang a plumb line from the same suspension point. Mark the vertical line. Repeat, suspended from different points.
