what is distance
how far an object moves
1 of 16
what is speed
the rate of change in distance
2 of 16
speed equation
distance/time
3 of 16
what does a horizontal line on distance-time graph
the object is stationary
4 of 16
what does acceleration
rate of change of velocity
5 of 16
acceleration equation
change in velocity/time
6 of 16
uniform acceleration equation
(final velocity)^2 -(initial velocity)^2= 2 x acceleration x distance
7 of 16
when does an object accelerate
if a resultant force acts on it
8 of 16
what is centripetal force
force needed for circular motion which acts towards the centre of a circle
9 of 16
what is Newton's third law
whenever two objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other
10 of 16
what are the two forces
- act on two different objects
- are of the same type
11 of 16
weight equation
mass x gravitation field strength
12 of 16
what is momentum
the product of mass and velocity
13 of 16
what is a closed system
something that is not affected by external forces
14 of 16
what momentum equation in closed system
total momentum before an event = total momentum after the event
15 of 16
rate of change of momentum
change in momentum/time
