motion and pressure

?
definition for the word speed
how far something travels in a particular time
1 of 17
state the unit of speed used in science
metres per seconds (m/s)
2 of 17
what is the equation for speed
distanced traveled over time taken
3 of 17
state what is meant by relative motion
how fast one thing is moving compared to another
4 of 17
state what a distance/time graph shows
how something moves
5 of 17
state what a slope in a distance time graph shows
a constant speed
6 of 17
state what an arch in a distance/time graph means
acceleration
7 of 17
state what happens to the speed of gas molecules when the temperature goes down
move more slowly
8 of 17
state what happens to atmospheric pressure as you go up a mountain
there is less atmospheric pressure making it harder to breath
9 of 17
what does incompressible mean
can not be compressed
10 of 17
state what happens to liquid pressure as you go deeper into a lake
there will be more pressure
11 of 17
state what direction pressure acts
90 degrees
12 of 17
state the equation for pressure
force over area
13 of 17
state the units of pressure
N/cm2
14 of 17
state the unit of a moment
newton metres (nm)
15 of 17
state the law of moments
when an object is in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments
16 of 17
describe what is meant by centre of gravity
when it is above the pivot, there is no turning force; all the weight of an object acts through this point
