What is the formula for kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy=1/2 * Mass (Kg) * Speed^2 (m/s^2)
1 of 25
What does the momentum of an object depend on?
Its mass and velocity.
2 of 25
How is momentum a vector quantity?
It has both size (magnitude) and direction.
3 of 25
When does an object have more momentum?
When there is a greater mass and the greater its velocity.
4 of 25
What is the formula for momentum?
Momentum (kg m/s) = Mass(Kg) * Velocity (m/s)
5 of 25
What happens to momentum of an object when a force acts on a moveable object?
It changes the object's momentum
6 of 25
How do you work out the force that acts upon an object?
Force (N)=Change In Momentum (kg m/s)/ Time that the force acts (s)
7 of 25
What happens when 2 objects collide?
They exert force on each other. The momentum of one of them increases; and the other decreases.
8 of 25
What is the rule about momentum?
THE TOTAL MOMENTUM STAYS THE SAME. We say that momentum is conserved which means that the total momentum before a collision=total momentum after a collision

Why do cars have crumple zones?
They are parts of the car that fold up in a crash. This means that the collision time is longer; so the impact force is less.
10 of 25
In any collision; to change your momentum a force is exerted on you for a length of time. What is the rule for this?
The longer the time; the smaller the force.
11 of 25
Why do cars have air bags?
They inflate very quickly during a collision. Because of the air bags; the change in momentum of the driver is spread out over a longer period of time; so the force is less
12 of 25
Why do cars have seatbelts?
They stretch in a collision; to make the deceleration time longer.
13 of 25
Why is a steering wheel/cyclists helmet usually padded?
If you hit it; it spreads out the collision over a longer time.
14 of 25
Why do you bend your knees when you jump down?
To spread out the collision time.
15 of 25
What do electrons flow through?
A solid conductor e.g. a copper wire. Electrons flow easily through metals; which are good conductors because they have free electrons.
16 of 25
What is the rate of flow of electric charge called?
The current
17 of 25
What is the formula for current?
Current (Amps)= Charge (Coulombs/C) /Time (s)
18 of 25
What is the danger of electrostatics?
The more change you put on an object; the higher the voltage (potential difference) between the object and earth. If the potential difference is very high, a spark can jump between the object and any earthed conductor.

Why are aeroplanes and tankers connected by a copper wire when refuelling?
A liquid (or powder) flowing through a pipe can become charged by rubbing. This can be dangerous if it causes a spark and the substance is inflamable. Using a copper wire gets rid of the sparks/static before it goes into the aeroplane.

What is an electrostatic precipitator? What does it do?
Can be used to remove smoke particles in chimney. Smoke particles pick up the positive charge as they go through grid; then repelled by positive grid and attracted to (negative) plates. Particles stick there; until knocked off + collected.

What happens in a photocopier? (Static)
Metal drum is charged up. Image of page projected on drum. Where light shines on drum charges leak away; leaves pattern on page. Black ink powder attracted to charged parts of drum. Ink transferred to paper. Paper heated so ink powder melts + sticks.

Open Switch? Closed? Cell? Battery? Diode? Resistor? Variable Resistor? Fuse? Thermistor? LDR? Lamp? Ammeter? Voltmeter?
Look In Physics for You book; page 66.
23 of 25
What is the current like in a series circuit? Voltage?
The current is the same the whole way round. The voltage is shared through all the resistors.
24 of 25
What is the current like in a parallel circuit? Voltage?
The current is shared between the branches. The voltage is the same the whole way round.
