Q

How do you convert from km/h to m/s

A

you multiply the km/h by 3.6 to get m/s, and you divide the m/s by 3.6 to get km/h

Q

How to calculate average speed of a line on a distance graph?

A

slope=rise/ run
=y step/ x step
= y2-y1/x2-x1
=answer

18
Q

How to calculate instantaneous speed of an object

A

Only one digit
slope= rise/run
=y/x
=answer

19
Q

What does a displacement graph do?

A

Show how the position of the object changes compared to where it started

20
Q

How does a ticker timer work

A

it makes a mark at a frequency of 50 dots per second. The further away the dots, the fast the object is going.

21
Q

How to calculate the speed using ticker timer

A

Look at how many dots for certain length. Then times length until 50 dots every second

22
Q

What is acceleration?

A

The change in velocity over a period of time

23
Q

Acceleration unit?

A

symbol= a and si unit is metres per second per second (ms-2 or m/s2)

24
Q

Gravity is a form of?

25
What is the acceleration of gravity
9.8 ms-2
26
How do you calculate acceleration?
final speed- initial speed/ time taken
27
A car starts at rest and speeds up to 56km/h in 7 seconds. Calculate its average acceleration in m/s/s:
2.22 m/s2
28
What is a balanced force?
forces act on an object can be balanced or unbalanced- balanced forces cancel eachother out
29
Unbalanced forces?
do not cancel eachother out and hence result in motion
30
What is netwon's first law?
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will continue to move in its current state f motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
31
What is interia?
Inertia is a property of matter where it resut a change in state of motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force =
32
The amount of intertia an object has is...
Dependent on it's mass
33
What is newton's second law?
Newton’s Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
34
Formula for second law
F=ma Force= acceleration*mass
35
If the net force is zero....
The object will remain in its current state of motion
36
A 41,000kg plane experiences a forward thrust force of 7000N and a backward drag force of 800N. Calculate the net force acting on the plane.
6200 N
37
A 41,000kg plane experiences a forward thrust force of 7000N and a backward drag force of 800N. Hence calculate the acceleration of the plane.
0.15ms-2
38
Mass SI unit
kg or m
39
Force SI unit
N (newtons) or F
40
Newton’s Third Law
Newton’s Third Law states that every action force has an equal and opposite reaction force.
