Distance time graphs ~ gradient of a line represents speed, steeper=faster. ~ when the line is horizontal the object is stationary. ~ speed(m/s)=distance(m)/time(s)
Velocity and acceleration ~ if an object changes direction it changes velocity even if the speed stays the same. ~ if velocity changes we say that it accelerates of decelerates. ~ acceleration(m/s2)=final v-initial v/time (s) ~ if the value calculated is negative it is decelerating.
Velocity-time graphs ~ gradient represents acceleration ~ steeper gradient=greater acceleration ~ if line is horizontal, acceleration is 0 and object moves at constant velocity ~ if gradient is negative its decelerating ~ area under graph is distance travelled
Forces between objects ~ forces measured in newtons (N) ~ objects always exert equal and opposite forces on each other ~ force can change shape of an object or change its motion
Resultant forces ~ when resultant force is 0 the object is at rest of moving at constant speed ~when not 0 the object is accelerating if direction of force is same as direction of object or decelerating if direction of forces and object is in opposite directions
Force and acceleration ~ greater resultant force=greater acceleration ~ greater mass of object=smaller acceleration ~ force(N)=mass(kg) x acceleration(m/s2)
On the road ~ thinking distance, braking distance, stopping distance ~ thinking distance increased by tiredness, being under influence of alcohol or drugs ~ braking distance increased by poor weather, worn tyres or brakes
