?
What two things does a force arrow tell us?
Direction and magnitude of the force
1 of 37
What does Hookes law state?
The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied, provided that the limit of proportionality is not exceeded.
2 of 37
When an object falls through a liquid it will accelerate due to gravity, but what happens to the acceleration?
it reduces as the resistive forces increase.
3 of 37
when a force makes an object move through a distance what is done to the object and what is it done against?
work is done against friction
4 of 37
what is transferred when work is done?
energy
5 of 37
describe what is meant by gravitational energy?
GPE is the energy that an object has by virtue of its position in a gravitational field.
6 of 37
What is regenerative breaking?
a technique where the car will use the energy used in braking to help charge the generator
7 of 37
what is the unit for momentum?
kg m/s
8 of 37
what is the conservation of momentum?
momentum before is equal to the momentum afterwards
9 of 37
explain how seatbelts and airbags stop serious injury in a car crash?
increase the time taken to stop, reducing the rate of charge of momentum and reducing injury
10 of 37
Which part of an atom can move from object to object?
electrons
11 of 37
how do objects become statically charged?
by rubbing together
12 of 37
when 2 objects are rubbed together what charges do the objects become?
opposite
13 of 37
if the object becomes positively charged what is lost?
electrons
14 of 37
define current
the rate of flow of charge
15 of 37
define potential difference
the amount of energy transferred per unit of charge
16 of 37
How does a fuse work?
increased current causes atoms to vibrate, this increases resistance and temperature causing the wire to snap therefore breaking the circuit
17 of 37
what is the unit for resistance?
ohms
18 of 37
what can we say about the current in a series circuit?
the same at every point
19 of 37
what can we say about the voltage in a series circuit?
shared equally across components if the resistance of those components is the same
20 of 37
what can we say about the resistance in a series circuit?
total resistance is found by adding all resistors
21 of 37
what can we say about the current in a parrallel circuit?
splits at a junction depending on the resistance of the components
22 of 37
what can we say about the voltage in a parallel circuit?
the voltage across each component is the same as the supply voltage
23 of 37
what can we say about the resistance in a parallel circuit?
overall resistance decreases as more resistors are added.
24 of 37
Describe what is meant by frequency
number of waves passing a point in one second
25 of 37
what is the name given to an atom that has lost or gained electrons
ion
26 of 37
what causes ionisation?
when an element is hit with electrons causing it to lose an electron
27 of 37
what is an isotope?
it has the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons
28 of 37
when substances are unstable, what will they give out?
radiation
29 of 37
what is background radiation?
radiation that usually comes from natural sources around us
30 of 37
list some sources of background radiation
rocks,buildings,food,nuclear accidents
31 of 37
what is an alpha particle?
it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons
32 of 37
what is a beta particle?
it has a fast moving electron
33 of 37
what is gamma radiation?
electromagnetic radiation
34 of 37
what material can stop alpha, beta and gamma radiation?
a=paper b=aluminium g=thich lead
35 of 37
what happens when alpha,beta and gamma travel through an electric field?
alpha and beta are deflected but gamma is not
36 of 37
what is the half life?
time it takes for the radioactive material to lose half its mass. or time it takes to reduce the activity by half
