Question Answer
What is the difference between speed and velocity? Speed is how fast you are going (30mph) Velocity is speed but must have the direction specified (30mph north)
What is formula for speed?
If a car travels 50m in 3.9s, what is its speed? Speed = 50m / 3.9s = 12.8m/s
What does the gradient of a distance time graph tell us? Speed
What is the formula for acceleration?
What does line b tell us on this velocity-time graph? b tells us that there is no acceleration
What types of forces are there? - reaction - weight (gravitational) - upthrust - friction - drag - magnetic - electrostatic
What forces are at work here? - push on the car by the man - friction opposing the motion - gravity on the car
What is force measured in? Newtons
What is Hooke's law? Extension is proportional to load (If you stretch something with a steady increasing force, then the length will increase steadily too)
What is the formula relating to mass, weight and gravity? Weight = mass x gravity
What is the weight, in Newtons, of a 5kg mass both on Earth and on the Moon (gravity is 1.6N/kg)? Earth = 5 x 10 = 50 Newtons Moon = 5 x 1.6 = 8 Newtons
What does the area under the graph tell me? The distance travelled in that time interval
