What is the difference between scalar and vector?
Scalar only has a size. Vector has a size and direction
1 of 19
Define velocity
Speed in a defined direction
2 of 19
What three things can exerting a force do to an object
It can change the shape, speed of direction of the object.
3 of 19
Define force
A push or a pull
4 of 19
Define displacement
A distance travelled in a define direction
5 of 19
GIve three examples of contact forces
Friction, air resistance and tension
6 of 19
Give three examples of non-contact forces
Gravity, electrostatic forces and magnetic forces
7 of 19
What is force measured in?
Newtons
8 of 19
What is weight?
The pull of gravity on an object
9 of 19
What is Earth's gravitational field strength?
9.8N/kg
10 of 19
How do you calculate weight?
weight= mass x gravitational field strength
11 of 19
Is force scalar or vector? Why?
Vector, it has a direction
12 of 19
How do you calculate work done?
work done(J) = force (N) x distance moved in direction of force (m)
13 of 19
What is work done measured in?
Joules
14 of 19
When is work being done?
When an object is moving
15 of 19
Define elastic deformation
When an object returns to it's original shape after being stretched
16 of 19
Define inelastic deformation
When an object doesn't return to it's original shape after being stretched
17 of 19
Define extension
The difference between the stretched and unstretched length of a spring
18 of 19
How do you calculate extension?
Force= spring constant x extension
