How do you work out speed?
Distance traveled divided by time taken
1 of 29
How do you work out distance?
(initial speed plus final speed) divided by two. Then average speed x time
2 of 29
How do you work out acceleration?
Change in speed divided by time taken for change
3 of 29
How do you work out resultant force?
mass x acceleration
4 of 29
How do you work out the stopping distance?
thinking distance + braking distance
5 of 29
How do you work out weight?
mass x gravitational field
6 of 29
How do you work out the amount of work done?
force applied x distance moved in direction of force
7 of 29
How do you work out the amount of power?
force x velocity
8 of 29
How do you work out the kinetic energy?
1/2 x mass(kg) x speed
9 of 29
What is terminal velocity?
When the opposing forces are equal
10 of 29
What are the units of temperature and heat energy?
Degrees, Celsius and joules
11 of 29
How do you work out the gravitational potential energy?
mass (kg) x gravitational field strength(metres N/KG) x change in height
12 of 29
What does terminal speed mean?
When the object has reached the fastest speed it can and will no longer increase
13 of 29
What is a precipitator?
fitted to chimneys in factories and power stations. They remove most of the dust and soot from the smoke that passes through.
14 of 29
What is resistance?
What prevents the electrons that flow around in a current
15 of 29
What is electricity?
The electrons that flow round in a current
16 of 29
What is a fixed resistor?
Constant resistance, the bigger the resistance the smaller the current that flows for a particular voltage.
17 of 29
What is a variable resistor?
(rheostat) has a changeable resistance e.g speaker or oven
18 of 29
What type of particles have a helium nucleus?
Alpha particle
19 of 29
What type or particle have a fast moving electron?
Beta particle
20 of 29
What type of wave is gamma?
electromagnetic wave
21 of 29
What is the order of increasing frequency in electromagnetic waves?
long wave radio, short wave radio, television and microwaves
22 of 29
What is the ionosphere?
Defined as the layer of the earths atmosphere that is ionized by solar and cosmic radiation
23 of 29
What is the nature of alpha-particles?
Positive particle with helium nucleus. about 7,000 times the mass of an electron
24 of 29
What is the nature of beta-particles?
negative electron
25 of 29
What is the nature of gamma-rays?
electromagnetic waves, short wave length.
26 of 29
What particles are affected by electric and magnetic fields?
Alpha-particles and beta-particles
27 of 29
How much penetration is able to occur in the three types of particles?
Alpha: stopped by paper or skin (or 6cm of air) Beta: stopped by 3mm of aluminium Gamma: reduced but not stopped by lead
28 of 29
What are the speeds of the 3 types of particles?
alpha: 10% speed of light beta: 50% speed of light gamma-ray: speed of light
