IGCSE Physics section A:Forces and motion

?
What is the speed, distance and time formula
d=vt, v=d/t, t=d/v
1 of 21
What is the acceleration formula
a=(v-u)/t, =change in velocity/time taken
2 of 21
What are the different types of forces
gravity, reaction, electrostatic, thrust, drag, upthrust, tension
3 of 21
What is terminal velocity
it is when the resistance force and the acceleration force are equal meaning there will be no more acceleration
4 of 21
what is the first law of motion
balanced forces mean no change in velocity
5 of 21
what is the second law of motion
a resultant force (unbalanced force) means acceleration
6 of 21
What is the force formula
F=ma, Force=mass x acceleration
7 of 21
What is the third law of motion
(Reaction forces) if object A exerts a force on object B then object B will exert the same opposite force on object A
8 of 21
What do vector quantities have and name some
they have size and direction, force, velocity, momentum, displacement, acceleration
9 of 21
what do scalar quantities have and name some
they have only size, mass, temperature, time, length
10 of 21
What is stopping distance made up of
thinking distance and braking distance
11 of 21
How can the total stopping distance be effected
how fast your going, how dopey you are, mass of vehicle, how good the brakes are, how good the grip is.
12 of 21
what is the momentum formula
p=mv, momentum=mass x velocity
13 of 21
what is the change in momentum formula
F=(mv-mu)/t, Force= change in momentum/ time taken
14 of 21
What do crumple zones in cars do
they increase the time reducing the force on impact
15 of 21
what do seat belts do
they increase the time reducing the force on the chest which then reduces the injury to the chest
16 of 21
what is the moment formula
moment=force x perpendicular distance to the pivot
17 of 21
what is the formula for the seasaw balance
total anticlockwise moments = total clockwise moments
18 of 21
What will happen if the anticlockwise and clockwise moments do not equal
there will be a resultant force
19 of 21
What does hooke's law say
extention ∝ force
20 of 21
what is the orbital speed formula
v=2πr/t, =2π*orbital radius/time period
