Forces Flashcards
(12 cards)
Vector
Has size and direction
Force velocity acceleration momentum
Scalar
Only have size
Mass temp time length
Stopping distance
= thinking distance + breaking distance
Things that affect you thinking distance
Speed and reaction time. Reaction time can be affected by your tiredness alcohol or drug use; age or inexperience.
Things that affect your stopping distance
Speed, mass or vehicle, quality of brakes, quality of grip(tyres, road surface, weather conditions)
Momentum equation
Momentum = mass x velocity
Acceleration
Acceleration= change in velocity/time
Average speed equation
Average speed = distance/time
Momentum info
Momentum is conserved if no external forces act so it’s the same before and after
Force causes change in momentum equation
Force = change in momentum/ time
Moment is a turning effect of a force
Moment = force x perpendicular distance between line of action and pivot
Moment if object is balanced
Total anti-clockwise moments= total clockwise movements
