p3 forces for transport

?
What is speed?
it is the distance something has travelled in, in a certain time.
1 of 21
What is the equatiopn for speed?
average speed = distance / time
2 of 21
What are the units of speed?
m/s (metres per second)
3 of 21
A car travels at 390km in 3 hours what is its speed?
130 m/s
4 of 21
Why do speed cameras take 2 photos?
one when they enter the speed check and one when you leave. To calculate the distance traveled.
5 of 21
What is the breaking distance?
The distance taken to stop once breaks have been applied.
6 of 21
What is the thinking distance?
It is the distance between when breaking needs to happen to when breaking starts.
7 of 21
What is work done?
It is when a force makes an object move.
8 of 21
What 2 things affect the work done?
one is the size of the force and the other is the distance it has moved.
9 of 21
What 2 forces act on a falling object?
gravity and air-resistance.

Describe the energy transfer for a roller coaster at the top of a ride?
At the top of the ride the cart has a lot of gravitational potential energy.
11 of 21
What is the equation for work done?
work done = force X distance.
12 of 21
What is gravitational potential energy?
it is energy due to height.
13 of 21
What is the equation for gravitational potential energy?
gravitational potential energy = mass X gravity X height
14 of 21
What is the main advantage of having electric cars over petrol and diesel cars?
it helps global warming as we do not produce green house gases when driving.
15 of 21
What is kinetic energy?
it is the energy of movement.
16 of 21
What is equation for kinetic energy?
kinetic energy = 1/2 X mass X speed(2)
17 of 21
What affects kinetic energy?
it depends on the mass and the speed.
18 of 21
Name 4 safety features of a car that aborbs keetic energy when a car stops suddenly?
the breaks heat up, the seat belts stretch, the air bag stops the person gradually and the crumple zone changes shape.
19 of 21
What 3 things does an air-bag do?
They change shape, they stop people from hitting the hard surface and they slow people down gradually?
20 of 21
What are passive safety features?
There are indirectly increase the saftey of a car--- they make the driver concentrate more for example electric windows.
