Physics - Forces and their effects

?
What do we use the resultant force for?
To determine the movement of an object.
1 of 22
When all forced are balanced what is the resultant force?
Zero.
2 of 22
When the resulatnt force is zero what happens to a stationary object?
The object remains stationary.
3 of 22
When the resultant force is zero what happens to a moving object?
The object reamins moving at the same speed (in the same direction).
4 of 22
When an object accelerates it goes in the direction of what?
The resultant force.
5 of 22
The resultant force of an object was 5 Newtons, it's acceleration was 12m/s squared. The rsultant force double, what is it's new acceleration?
24m/s squared.
6 of 22
The mass of an object was 25 Newtons, it's acceleration was 58m/s squared. The mass doubles, what is it's new acceleration
29m/s squared.
7 of 22
What does the gradient of a distance-time graph represent?
The speed of an object.
8 of 22
What is the the velocity of an object?
It's speed in a particular direction.
9 of 22
What does the slope on a velocity-time graph represent?
The acceleration of an object.
10 of 22
How do we work out the distance travelled on a velocity time graph?
The area under the graph.
11 of 22
On a velocity-time graph when the line is straight, what does this mean?
The object is stationary.
12 of 22
On a velocity-time graph when the line is straight but sloped, what does this mean?
The object is moving at a steady speed.
13 of 22
When will two cars have different velocities?
When they have different speeds, are going in different directions, or both.
14 of 22
What two factors does the stopping distance depend on?
Thinking distance and braking distance.
15 of 22
What increases the thinking distance?
Tiredness, distractions or if under influence of alcohol or other drugs.
16 of 22
What increases the breaking distance?
Speed, condition of the car or weather conditions.
17 of 22
How do falling objects eventualy reach a terminal velocity?
Their resultant force becomes zero.
18 of 22
What is weight?
Force downwards caused by gravity.
19 of 22
What is air resistance?
Force in opposite direction.
20 of 22
What happens when a skydiver first jumps out of a plane?
What happens when a skydiver first jumps out of a plane?
21 of 22
What happens next?
As speed gains, air resistance increases. Eventually weight is match by air resistance so the resulatnt force is zero. The skydiver now moves at a steady speed and teriminal velocity.
