A human skydiver - without the parachute open he has a small area and force equal to his weight pulling him down. He reaches a terminal velocity of 120 mph. However with the parachute open theres more air resistance and still the same force pulling him down meaning that his terminal velocity goes down to 15 mph which is much safer for landing
662

What can you do after recoding your results from the sycamore experiment?
Plot a graph of the length of wings against time taken to hit the ground

What is the principle of moments?
Total anticlockwise moments = Total clockwise moments When acting in a balanced object
733

734
If a light rod (when you ignore weight in the calculations) is being supported at both ends, will the upwards force be the same?
No - if a heavy object is placed on the rod, the support closest to the object will provide a larger force

Seat belts Airbags Crumple Zones
797
Explain how seat belts can reduce injuries to passengers during a crash.
Change in momentum= time taken x force The seat belt increases the time of impact which reduces the forces on the body as momentum changes to zero. The seat belt stretches which increases the area over which the force acts reducing the pressure on the body.

Race cars are faster than ordinary cars and therefore the forces on the body would be greater in a crash. The seat belts have a greater surface area and this reduces the pressure on the body.

How does convection work in an immersion heater?
Heat energy transferred from heater coils to water via conduction. Particles near coils get more energy and move faster and because there is more distance between the particles, the water expands and becomes less dense. Hotter, less dense water rises above the denser, cooler water and displaces it out of the way in doing so making it sink to the heater coils Process repeats with convection currents and all water will be heated

1044
What are the units of gravitational field strength?
N/kg or m/s^2
1045
average speed =
speed = distance/time
1046
How do you determine the displacement from a velocity-time graph?
Area under the curve
1047
What are the effects of a force?
change in velocity over time (acceleration); change in shape
1048
What is friction?
A force which opposes motion
1049
Describe the forces acting on falling objects and describe how they reach terminal velocity
The object initially accelerates toward the Earth due to the gravitational force. As the object’s velocity increases, so too does its air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance = gravitational force, so the forces will be balanced. According to Newton’s 1st Law, unless acted on by a force, an object will travel at constant velocity
1050
Stopping distance =
s.d. = thinking distance + braking distance
1051
What factors affect thinking distance?
Metal condition of driver; tiredness; influence of drugs; alcohol; medication; level of concentration
1052
What factors affect braking distance?
speed; road conditions; tyre conditions; car mass; brake conditions
1053
What is the centre of gravity?
the point within something at which gravity can be considered to act
1054
Moment =
Moment = Force x Perpendicular distance
1055
What is Hooke’s Law?
The extension of an elastic material is proportional to the force applied until the material reaches its elastic limit
1056
What is an elastic material?
A material which will retain its original shape after a force which has been deforming it has been removed
1057
What is the resultant force?
the net force acting on an object
1058
What is Newton’s second law of motion?
The resultant force of an object is proportional to the acceleration.
1059
What is terminal velocity?
Where weight forces of an object are balanced with air resistance, causing the object to move at a constant speed.
1060
What does it mean to obey Hooke’s law?
To obey Hooke’s law, the force must be proportional to the extension.
1061
What is the permanent set?
The difference between the new and original length of an object
