Q

What is a vernier caliper?

A

it consists of a main scale and a sliding vernier scale

21
Q

what is a micrometer screw gauge?

A

it is used to measure anything less than 1 cm and is too small for the vernier calipers to measure

22
Q

what is terminal velocity?

A

it is the greatest speed that a falling object can reach

23
Q

what are scalar quantities?

A

Quantities that are measured with numbers and units.e.g length,temp,time.

24
Q

what are vector quantities?

A

quantities that are measured with numbers and units but also have a specific direction.

25
name 5 vector quantities?
displacement,velocity,acceleration,force,weight,friction,momentum,moment.
26
name 5 scalar quantities?
mass,length,distance,speed,power,energy and work
27
what does the area under a velocity time graph represent?
the distance covered
28
what is mass?
Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an | object.
29
how can the mass of an object change?
The mass of an object will not change unless we add | or subtract matter from it.
30
what is used in measuring mass?
use a triple beam balance and a digital top-balance to measure mass.
31
how do u calculate weight?
weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
32
what are features of mass?
Always remains constant Does not depend on gravity Measured in Kg Measured with a Top-Balance
33
what are features of weight?
Depends on gravity weight=mass x gravity weight of an object changes if the gravity changes Measured in N Measured with a spring balance
34
what does inertia depend on?
depends on the mass of the body: The bigger the mass the more the Inertia The smaller the mass the less the inertia.
35
what is inertia?
the natural tendency of an object to resist change in its state. or The inbuilt reluctance of a body to want to remain at rest or to continue in uniform motion is called the INERTIA.
