Q

what is newtons first law

A

if the resultant force on astationary object is zero the object will remain stationary. if the resultant force on a moving object is zero itll carry on moving at the same velocity

Q

example of newtons third law

A

is a man pushing against a wall
as he pushes against the wall there is a normal contact force acting back on him
the two forces are the same size
as the man applies a force and pushes the wall the wall pushes back on him with equal force

Q

what is the conservation of momentum

A

in a closed systek the total momentum before an event is the same as after the event

23
Q

describe how momentum has been conserved by a gun recoiling

A

before the gun fires a bullet the toral momentum is zero
when the bullet leaves the gun it has momentum in one direction
the gun moves backwards so it has momentum int he opposite direction
this measn that the total momentum after the bullet has fired is zero this means momentum has been conserved

24
Q

force = (momentum)

A

change in momentum/change in time

25
a larger force means.....
faster change in momentum
26
car safwty featues
crumple zoens crumple on impact increasing the time taken for the car to stop seatbelts slightly increasing the time taken for the weare to stop air bags inflate before you hit the dashboard of a car
27
how are bike helmets designed to reduce the impact of a fall (talk about momentum and time)
contain a crushable layer of foam which helps to lengthen the time taken for your head to stop in a crash which means there is a longer change in momentum
28
how are crash mats designed to reduce the impact of a fall (talk about momentum and time)
they increase the time taken for you to stop if you fall on them which means there is a longer change in momentum
29
why are cars designed to slow people down over a longer time when peole crash
the longer the takes for a change in momentum the smaller the rate of change of momentum so the smaller the force less force means less servere injury
30
the longer the time taken for a change in momentum
the smaller the force
31
a larger force or a larger distance means..
a larger moment
32
what does it mean when an object has been elastically deformed
can go back to original shape or length
33
what does it mean when an object has been in elastically deformed
doesn't return to original shape or length
34
why do we need to push at right angles
because pushing at any other angle means a smaller distance, and so that means a smaller moment
35
a force transmitted to a larger gear...
will cause a bigger moment, as the distance to the pivot is greater
36
the pressure of a fluid means...
A FORCE IS EXERTED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO ANY SURFACE IN CONTACT WITH A FLUID
37
what do objects in fluids experience
upthrust
38
pressure increases with...
depth
39
an object floats if its weight =
upthrust
40
how do submarines use upthrust
to sink, large tanks are filled with water to increase the weight of the submarine so that it is more than the upthrust to go to the surface the tanks are filled with water to increase the weight of the submarine so that it will be more than the upthrust
41
atmospheric pressure decreases with...
height
42
how Is atmospheric pressure created
on a surface by air molecules colliding with the surface
43
what is velocity
speed in a given direction
44
why when the altitude increases does the atmospheric pressure decrease
because as the altitude increases the atmosphere gets less dense so there are fewer air molecules that are able to collide with the surface
45
measuring displacement
displacement measures the distance and direction in a straight line from an objects starting and finishing point
46
example of measuring displacement
if you walk 5m north then 5m south the displacement is 0m as its in a straight line the total distance is 10m
47
Mark walks her dog after skl she takes a route of 1500m that starts and returns to her home what is the distance she travels whats her displacement
``` distance= 1500m displacement = 0m ```
48
``` typical every day speeds walking running cycling car train plane ```
``` walking- 1.5m/s running- 3m/s cycling- 6m/s car- 25m/s train- 55m/s plane- 250m/s ```
49
what is the number for acceleration due to gravity(falling object)
9.8m/s2
50
when calculating uniform acceleration of a ball dropping what do you use for the acceleration
9.8m/s2
51
how do you find the acceleration at a point on a velocity time graph
use a tangent to the curve at a point
52
what is drag
resistance you get in a fluid, gas. or liquid
53
how do you reduce drag
make the object stream lined
54
example of drag
air resistance
