25
Which force always goes against moving objects?
Air resistance.
26
Which force causes objects to float in water?
Up thrust
27
Which force slows down objects which are moving through the air?
Air resistance
28
Which force causes objects to be pulled towards the ground.
Gravity
29
If the forces are equal the object will...
Be stationary or stay moving at the same speed.
30
If the forces on an object are different, the object will change...
Size, shape or direction
31
Which forces could affect a cars speed?
DF, friction, AR and gravity.
32
What factors would increase the speed of the car?
Increasing the forward force. Decreasing the air Resistance. Decreasing the weight.
33
An object in water has two forces acting upon it...
Upthrust Weight
34
What is upthrust?
The upward force exerted by a liquid on the object.
35
What is weight?
The force of gravity on the object.
36
Why does the boat float?
The forces of weight and upthrust are balanced.
37
Why do dive toys sink?
Because weight is greater than upthrust.
38
How to measure volume of liquids accurately?
With the eye in line with the water level at the bottom of the curve.
39
What is the curve called when measuring the volume of liquids.
Meniscus
40
Volumes of liquids can be measured in...
Litres L Millimetres ML
41
How can we measure the volume of a shape which is irregular?
Fill the measuring cylinder. Measure water. Put in stone and measure again.
42
What is density?
Mass ______ Volume
43
The density is known as it's
Mass per unit volume.
44
What is the unit of density?
Grams per cubic centimetre g/cm3
45
How do you calculate volume?
Volume= length x width x height
46
What equipment is used to find out the mass of an object?
Top-pan balance
47
What is the Density equation?
Density=mass ÷ volume. Density =400g ÷120cm3
48
Float or sink? If the density is greater than 1g/cm3 it will
Sink
49
Float or sink? If the density is less than 1g/cm3 it will...
Float
50
What is the density of water?
1g/cm3
51
What is the density of water?
1g/cm3
52
Calculate the density of: Block of copper: 3cm.long, 2cm high, 2cm wide. It has a massive of 108g
9g per cm3
53
Block of aluminium length 5cm, height 1cm, width 2 cm and mass of 27g.
2.7g per cm3
54
How would you find density of the metal clip?
Find volume in the cylinder of water Measure mass on top pan balance. Density= mass -------- Volume
55
What are magnetic fields?
The region where it has a magnetic effect.
56
What happens when a magnetic material is placed in a magnetic field?
It will experience a force.
57
What materials are magnetic?
58
Common uses of magnets?
Fridge magnet Compass Scrap yard Metal detector
59
Where is the strength of the magnetic field greatest?
At the poles north and south.
60
What happens when you bring two north poles alike together.
Repell
61
What can know about the magnetic fields.
They never touch or cross. Continuous. Closer together the stronger the force. North to south
62
What happens when you bring North and south pole together?
Attract
63
What happens when you bring two south poles together?
Repel moving away from each other.
64
Is the earth is a magnet?
True
65
Volume is the
Space occupied by an object
66
Weight is
Force due to gravity acting on a massive measured in newtons.
67
Upthrust is...
Upwards force of a liquid on an object placed on its surface.
68
Streamlined means
Objects designed with smooth and curved surface to minimise opposing forces such as air resistance or drag.
69
Streamlined means
Objects designed with smooth and curved surface to minimise opposing forces such as air resistance or drag.
