Formula for force?
Force=mass x acceleration
1 of 24
Why might thinking distance increase?
If the driver is: -tired - under the influence of alcohol - travelling faster - distracted
2 of 24
Why might braking distance increase?
If road conditions are poor,If car has not been properly maintained or if speed is increased
3 of 24
What are some factors that affect braking distance
The greater the speed of the vechile -the greater the mass
4 of 24
What is it important to do to ensure safedriving?
Keep an apprioate distance from car in front -have different speed limits for different types of road and locations
5 of 24
Formula for weight?
Weight=mass x gravitional field strength
6 of 24
When all objects fall with the same acceleration ,what is it due to?
Gravity
7 of 24
What does the size of air resistance force depend on?
Its cross-sectional area and its speed
8 of 24
What is cross-sectional area?
The larger the area the greater the air resistance
9 of 24
What is uneffected by atmosphere conditions?
Gravitional field strength
10 of 24
What is gravitational potential strength?
An object held above the ground
11 of 24
What does a bouncing ball do?
Converts its gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
12 of 24
What is terminal speed shown as when its reached
Change in GPE=work done against friction
13 of 24
Formula for acceleration?
Change in speed(or velocity)/time taken
14 of 24
What is acceleration?
A change of speed per unit time e.g 10m/s
15 of 24
What is velocity?
Its a vector-it has both size(speed) and direction
16 of 24
Formula for average speed?
Distance/time
17 of 24
What does a straight line mean in a distance time graph,and why?
Constant speed because of constant gradient
18 of 24
Formula for momentum?
Mass x Velocity
19 of 24
Formula for force
Change in momentum/time
20 of 24
How do you work out kinetic energy?
1/2 x Mass x Velocity
21 of 24
When do mordern cars absorb energy?
mordern cars absorb energy when a vechile stops suddenly
22 of 24
How do mordern cars absorb energy?
As brakes get hot ,crumple zones change shape,seat belts that stretch a little , air bags that inflate and squash
23 of 24
Why do some people not like to wear seatbelts?
Risk of chest injury,they may be trapped in a fire,drivers may be encouraged to drive less carefully because they know they have protection
