What is it called when an objects speed increases?
Accellaration
1 of 24
What does the gradient on a distance-time graph represent?
Speed
2 of 24
Can displacement be both positive and negative?
Yes
3 of 24
Acceleration is..
How quickly you're speeding up/change in velocity
4 of 24
What does an object resting on a surface experience?
A reaction force
5 of 24
When solid surfaces are gripping or sliding past eachother what do they experience?
Friction
6 of 24
What do liquids/gases experience?
Resitance/drag
7 of 24
What do the arrows show on a diagram of an object?
The size/direction of forces
8 of 24
When are forces balanced?
When a car drives at a steady speed and the reaction of a surface
9 of 24
What is the resultant force?
Overall force acting on an object
10 of 24
Does the speed/direction change when there's a resultant force?
Yes
11 of 24
When are the forces unbalanced?
When the object is acceleration/speed increases
12 of 24
If the resultant force is bigger what does it mean?
The acceleration is higher
13 of 24
What is momentum?
How hard it'd be to stop an object moving
14 of 24
When the momentum is constant it means..
Both the mass and velocity are constant
15 of 24
How is momentum increased?
Increasing mass or velocity
16 of 24
When a rocket is launched into the sky it moves upwards, why?
The thrust is larger than both the gravity and drag
17 of 24
How do seat belts and air bags help the passanger?
Increase time for them to stop/slow you down more gradually
18 of 24
What is "work done"?
Energy transferred
19 of 24
What is kinetic energy?
Movement energy
20 of 24
An increase in kinetic energy means..
The amount of work done (but a little bit less due to wasted energy as heat)
21 of 24
What is GPE?
Height energy
22 of 24
When objects fall what happens?
KE gained and GPE lost
23 of 24
When/how is GPE increased?
By doing work
