Motion And Pressure

?
Acceleration
The amount by which speed increases in one second.
1 of 17
Atmospheric pressure
Pressure caused by the collisions of air molecules that produce a force on an area
2 of 17
Average Speed
The total distance travelled in the total time taken for a complete journey
3 of 17
Centre of gravity
The point in an object where the force of gravity seems to act
4 of 17
Centre of mass
The point in an object where the mass of an object seems to act
5 of 17
Compressed
Squashed into a smaller space.
6 of 17
Density
The mass of a material in a certain volume
7 of 17
Distance-time graph
A graph that shows how far an object moves each second
8 of 17
Incompressible
Cannot be compressed(squashed)
9 of 17
Instaneous speed
The speed at a particular moment
10 of 17
Law of moments
An object is in equlibrium if the clockwise moments equal the anticlockwise moments
11 of 17
Liquid Pressure
The pressure produced by collisions of particles in a liquid
12 of 17
Relative Motion
The difference between the speeds of 2 moving or of a moving and a stationary object
