Q

Distance time graphs

A
Gradient = speed
Steeper is faster 
Flat is where stopped 
Downhill is going back to starting point
Curves are accel or deccel

Q

Second law of motion

A

If there is an unbalanced force than the object will accelerate in that direction
Another word for this is the resultant force

Q

Moment (nm) =

A

Force (n) x perpendicular distance between line of action and pivot

24
Q

Centre of gravity

A

Directly below the point of suspension

25
Force causing orbits
Gravity
26
Gravity decreases as
You get further away
27
Some orbits are
Elliptical (elongated)
28
For a circular orbit the distance travelled is the
Circumference
29
Orbital speed =
(2 x pi x orbital radius)/time
30
Speed =
Distance/time
31
plastic is an...
insulator
32
the live wire
red wire | alternates between high voltage and low voltage of about 230V
33
the neutral wire
blue always at zero V elect flows through live and out neutral
34
earth wire
green/yellow (colorblind) connected to power supply and is a back up wire there in case fault with main wires connected to the ground
35
fuse/circuit breakers
melt when current is too high to stop shocks or fires
36
circuit breaker more convenient than fuses because
switch- faster | switch-can be switched back on, fuse has to replace
37
power =
current x voltage | Pee on the IVy
38
energy transferred = | j
current x voltage x time | Ee on the IVy Tea
39
Resistance = | ohms
Voltage/current
40
diodide
graph goes steady then upwards curve high resistance one way current the other way
41
metal filament lamp
curve then constant up then curve
42
wire
current through a wire is proportional to voltage
43
LDR light dependent resistor
line box with arrows line downwards curve, resistance decreasing with light intensity resistor used in light sensing units
44
thermistors
line- box with line through on a diagonal -line a temp-dependent resistor temp sensors hot conditions, resistance drops
45
charge = | charge measure in coulombs C
current x time
46
series circuit
all components one after the other along the wire disconnect and circuits breaks fairy lights current same everywhere
47
parallel circuits
disconnect one and will hardly affect others each component has its own loop how most things are household lights
48
one volt is
one joule per coulomb
49
static electricity cause
caused by friction two insulators rub each other one + electrostatic charge loss electrons one - electrostatic charge gain electrons which way depends on material
50
+ + + - - -
repel attract repel
51
charged rod test
suspend a rod with known charge bring another rod towards it if attraction, test rod has opposite charge of suspend rod if repel, test rod is same charge as suspend rod
52
generators that make your hair stick up
Van de Graaff generators
53
static helpful
inkjet | photocopier
54
static problem
lightning | fuel (gas stations)
55
1 amp
1 coulomb per sec
56
voltage =
energy/charge
57
