What is acceleration?
The change in velocity in a certain amount of time
1 of 58
What does uniform acceleration mean?
Speeding up or slowing down at a constant rate (constant acceleration)
2 of 58
What does a distance/ time graph tell you?
How far something has travelled over time
3 of 58
In a distance/ time graph: what does the flat section mean?
It is stationary
4 of 58
In a distance/ time graph: what does the gradient show?
The speed of the object at that time
5 of 58
In a distance/ time graph: what do the curves represent?
Acceleration
6 of 58
In a distance/ time graph: what does a steeper curve mean? (If it gets steeper)
It means it's speeding up
7 of 58
In a distance/ time graph: what does a levelling off curve mean?
It's slowing down
8 of 58
In a distance/time graph: what do you do to find the speed on a curve?
Draw a tangent and then find the gradient
9 of 58
In a velocity/ time graph what does the gradient represent?
Acceleration
10 of 58
In a velocity/ time graph: what does the flat section represent?
A steady speed
11 of 58
In a velocity/ time graph: what happens as the graph gets steeper?
The acceleration and deceleration get greater
12 of 58
In a velocity/ time graph: what does a curve mean?
Changing acceleration
13 of 58
In a velocity/ time graph: how do you work out the distance travelled?
You find the area
14 of 58
What can you do to increase momentum?(2 things)
Increase mass and increase velocity
15 of 58
What is the conservation of momentum?
Where the total momentum before an event is the same as after the event
16 of 58
What is stopping distance made of?
Thinking distance and braking distance
17 of 58
What is thinking distance?
The distance the car travels in the driver's reaction time
18 of 58
What affects thinking distance? (2 factors)
Your reaction time and your speed (the further you will travel in your reaction time)
19 of 58
What increases your reaction time? (Name as many as you can)
Tiredness, alcohol, drugs, and any distractions
20 of 58
What is braking distance?
The distance taken to stop once the brakes have been applied
21 of 58
What can affect the braking distance?
Your speed, the mass, condition of the brakes and friction (surface)
22 of 58
In nuclear fission- what is the form of most of the energy in?
Kinetic energy
23 of 58
In nuclear fusion and fission:Why do both the daughter nuclei and the nuclei have alot of kinetic energy?
They are moving at high speeds
24 of 58
What is ionising radiation?
It is radiation that has enough energy to cause atoms to lose electrons and become ions
25 of 58
How does an atom become an ion?
It gains a charge (different number of electrons to protons)
26 of 58
In lithium-6, what is the number indicating?
That the relative atomic mass is 6
27 of 58
What is an isotope?
An atom that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
28 of 58
What do you call the particles in the nucleus?
Nucleons
29 of 58
Where can you find protons and neutrons?
In the nucleus
30 of 58
What are the types of ionising radiation?
Alpha particles, Beta particles, Gamma rays
31 of 58
What type of energy do gamma rays have?
Electromagnetic radiation
32 of 58
What type of energy does Alpha and Beta have?
Kinetic energy
33 of 58
What is penetration ability based on?
Size, smaller is better
34 of 58
What is ionising ability based on?
Size, bigger is better
35 of 58
What are gamma rays?
A high- frequency electromagnetic have emitted by some unstable nuclei
36 of 58
What can gamma be stopped by?
A few centimetres of lead or absorbed by many metres of concrete
37 of 58
What is the charge of gamma rays?
It has no charge
38 of 58
How fast do gamma rays travel?
At the speed of light
39 of 58
What is the symbol of gamma? (decribe or draw)
A v with a loop in the bottom/ upside down fish
40 of 58
What is the symbol of Beta?
A B with an elongated tail
41 of 58
What is the symbol of Alpha?
A fish
42 of 58
What is the charge of Beta?
-1
43 of 58
What can Beta particles be stopped by?
A few millimetres of aluminium
44 of 58
What is the penetration ability order? (most to least)
Gamma, Beta, Alpha
45 of 58
What is the ionising ability order for alpha, beta and gamma? (most to least)
Alpha, Beta, Gamma
46 of 58
What are beta particles? (Structure)
Electrons that are emitted from an unstable nucleus
47 of 58
What is Alpha stopped by?
A few centimetres of air or a few millimetres of paper
48 of 58
What do alpha particles have such a short penetration distance?
They produce many ions in a short distance which means that they lose energy quickly
49 of 58
What happens to an Alpha particle after they ionise an atom?
They lose some energy
50 of 58
What is the charge of an alpha particle?
+2
51 of 58
What is an Alpha particle similar to?
The nucleus of a helium atom
52 of 58
What do Alpha particles not have (in terms of sub-atomic particles)?
Electrons
53 of 58
What do Alpha particles contain?
Two protons and two neutrons
54 of 58
Why can't you predict when a nucleus will decay?
It's a random process
55 of 58
How is ionising radiation produced?
From a decaying nucleus
56 of 58
What does the unstable nucleus need to do to become more stable?
It decays by losing energy when certain types of ionising radiation are emitted from the nucleus
57 of 58
What does a radioactive substance have?
An unstable nucleus
