Mass on the moon is the same- 60kg

61

Q

Which ticker tape shows an object which is decelerating then accelerating?

A

ticker tape E

  • object is covering less distance per unit time, then more distance per unit time.
  • object is slowing down then speeding up, decelerating, then accelerating
65

speed = distance /time

rearrange for time or make time the subject of the equation

A

time = distance / speed

66
Q

What is the equation for acceleration?

A

a = (v-u)/t

a = change in velocity / time

67
Q

Why are arrows perfect for drawing forces (a vector) quantities?

A

The arrow size can represent the magnitude of the force. The arrow direction can represent the direction the force is acting in.

68
Q

A

C

  • gradient of the line is the shallowest
  • less distance covered per time
  • slower speed
69
Q

If an object is decelerating at 2 m/s2, how fast is it going after 4 seconds if it was travelling at 14 m/s?

A

It will lose 2 metres per second every second.

after 4 seconds it will decrease its velocity by 8 m/s

14 - 8 = 6 m/s
