physics c3-4

?
distance =
average speed X time
1 of 19
acceleration =
change in speed '/. time
2 of 19
the gradient of a distance- time graph is
the speed- the steeper the gradient, the higher the speed
3 of 19
relative velocity
is the difference between the velocities of the two bodies having regard to their direction
4 of 19
forces always occur in pairs that are
1. the same size 2. act in opposite directions 3. act on different objects
5 of 19
force =
mass X acceleration
6 of 19
weight =
mass X gravitational field strength
7 of 19
when a car stops
total stopping distance = thinking time + braking distance
8 of 19
moving objects have
kinetic energy
9 of 19
Kinetic energy =
1/2massvelocity2(squared)
10 of 19
roller coasters have
gravitational potential energy as the source of movement
11 of 19
during a roller coaster ride
GPE is transferred into KE and back again
12 of 19
work is done - ... energy is ... power is ....
1. when a force moves through a distance 2. needed to do work 3. measure of how quickly work is done
13 of 19
work done =
force X distance
14 of 19
power =
work done '/. time
15 of 19
power =
force X speed
16 of 19
modern cars have lots of safety features that absorb energy when a car stops
1. crumple zones 2. seat belts 3. air bags
17 of 19
force =
change in momentum '/. time
18 of 19
terminal speed happens when
forces acting on an object are balanced
