What is the difference between speed and velocity
Speed is a scalar quantity, velocity is a vector
1 of 33
Average speed =
Distance / time
2 of 33
Acceleration =
Change in velocity / time

What is the gravitational field strength on earth? (give units)
10 (N/Kg)
8 of 33
Weight =
Mass x gravitational field strength
9 of 33
Give 3 forces
Weight, Thrust, Drag, Lift, Tension, Reaction, Electrostatic attraction
10 of 33
Give the 4 forces acting on a moving car (and their directions)
Thrust (forwards), Drag (backwards), Weight (down), Reaction from the road (up)
11 of 33
What is terminal velocity?
When resistance and acceleration are equal.
12 of 33
What is the first law of motion?
If there are no forces acting on an object, then the object will continue at the same speed.
13 of 33
What is the second law of motion?
If there is an unbalanced force acting on an object, then the object will accelerate
14 of 33
Resultant force =
Mass x acceleration
15 of 33
What is the third law of motion?
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
16 of 33
If a plane has a 22,000N thrust North and 8,000N of air resistance South, what is the resultant force?
14,000N North
17 of 33
What two factors affect stopping distance?
Thinking distance and braking distance
18 of 33
What affects thinking distance?
your speed, How alert you are- tiredness, drunkenness, age, drugs
19 of 33
What affects braking distance? (give 3)
Speed, Mass of the vehicle, Quality of brakes, Quality of the road, Weather, Tyre quality
20 of 33
Momentum =
Mass x velocity
21 of 33
What is conservation of momentum
momentum before = momentum after
22 of 33
What connects Force acting, Change in momentum, and Time taken?
Force = Change in momentum / time
23 of 33
How does a crumple zone reduce the damage of a car crash?
Crumple zones increase the time taken for the change in momentum and so reduce the force applied
24 of 33
Moment =
Force x perpendicular distance FROM PIVOT
25 of 33
Moments are measured in...
Newton meters
26 of 33
If an object is balanced then total anti-clockwise moments = ...
total clockwise moments
27 of 33
What is Hooke's law
The extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied
28 of 33
What is the equation for Hooke's law?
F = K x E where F = force, K = spring constant, E = Extension
29 of 33
Hooke's law does not apply when...
The elastic limit has been reached
30 of 33
What is an elliptical orbit?
An orbit around two focii
31 of 33
Gravity decreases as you get....
Further away from the planet
32 of 33
Orbital speed =
(2 x pi x orbital radius) / time
