Turning Forces GCSE Physics AQA (higher)

I have tried to include a question from practically every sentence in the chapter 3.1 in the AQA revision guide.

?
What is a "moment"?
a turning effect of a force
1 of 32
moment of a force =
force x perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force
2 of 32
What can this be shortened to?
f x d
3 of 32
How would we increase the moment?
Either of the above
4 of 32
What is the center of mass?
The point where the mass is concentrated
5 of 32
What is the first step towards finding the center of mass?
Suspend the sheet from a pin held in a clamp stand.
6 of 32
What is the second step towards finding the center of mass?
When it comes to rest, hang a plumbline from the same pin
7 of 32
What is the third step towards finding the center of mass?
Mark the position of the plumbline against the sheet
8 of 32
What is the fourth step towards finding the center of mass?
Hang the sheet with the pin at another point and hang a plumbline from the same pin. Mark the position of the plumbline against the sheet
9 of 32
What is the fifth step towards finding the center of mass?
The center of mass is where the plumblines cross
10 of 32
Where is the center of mass when a suspended object is in equilibrium?
Directly below the point of suspension
11 of 32
Where is the center of mass of a symmetrical object?
On the axis of symmetry
12 of 32
Sum of anti-clockwise moments =
sum of clockwise moments
13 of 32
How is the stability of an object increased?
By making the base as wide as possible
14 of 32
Where does the line of action of the weight of an object act through?
the center of mass
15 of 32
What happens if the line of action lies inside the base of an object?
nothing
16 of 32
What happens if the line of action lies outside the base of an object?
it falls over
17 of 32
When is the Physics Unit 3 exam?
30th May
18 of 32
When an object moves in a circle it is continuously..........
accelerating
19 of 32
What is this action called?
centripetal force
20 of 32
What does this force act towards?
In to the center of the circle
21 of 32
What would cause the force mentioned in Q20 to increase? (NB more answers on next question)
next.
22 of 32
What is the force that every body in the universe attracts to another body with?
gravity
23 of 32
the greater the mass of the body the........this force.
bigger
24 of 32
As the distance between two bodies increases, the force between them...................
decreases
25 of 32
What is the shape of a planitary orbit?
elipses
26 of 32
the larger an orbit, the............a planet takes to go around the sun.
longer
27 of 32
What is a geostationary satellite?
One that stays at the same position directly above the Earth
28 of 32
What is a Polar Satellite?
One that passes over both poles while the Earth rotates beneath.
29 of 32
How long does a geostationary satellite take to travel around the earth once?
24 hours
30 of 32
How long does a polar satellite take to travel around the earth once?
2 or 3 hours
31 of 32
What is the Earth's natural satellite?
the Moon

I thought the quality of this quiz was of a big scale (usually), it had me riled up like a head of a hard drive, I'm so glad I know now that the exam is on the 30th of may and centripetal forces are homosexuals, thank you *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************xx*****#
