Q

What is Newton’s first law?

A

If the resultant force on a stationary object is zero, the object will remain stationary. If the resultant force on a moving object it zero, it’ll just carry on moving at the same velocity.

Q

How does circular motion work?

A
The object is constantly changing direction 
It’s accelerating 
Must be a resultant force acting on it 
Acts towards centre of the circle

24
Q

Newton’s third law:

A

When two objects interact, the forces they exert in each other are equal and opposite

25
What is momentum
Mass x velocity | P=mv
26
Is momentum a Scalar or Vector quantity?
Vector
27
What causes a change in momentum
When a resultant force acts on an object for a certain amount of time
28
What is force
Change in momentum ➗ time
29
The faster the change in momentum.......
The bigger the force
30
Stopping distance
Thinking distance + braking distance
31
What can reaction time be increased by?
Tiredness Alcohol Drugs Distractions
32
Energy in the cars kinetic energy store =
Work done by brakes | Braking force x braking distance
33
Kinetic energy
Anything moving has energy in its kinetic energy store
34
Thermal
Any object —
35
Chemical
Anything that can release energy by a chemical reaction
36
Gravitational potential
Anything in a gravitational field
37
Elastic potential
Anything stretched
38
Electrostatic
Two charges that attract or repel each other
39
Magnetic
Two magnets that attract or repel each other
40
Nuclear
Atomic nuclei release energy from this store in nuclear reactions
41
KE=
1/2 x m x v^2
42
What does conservation of energy mean
Energy is never created or destroyed
43
mechanically transferred energy
A force is acting on an object
44
Electrically transferred energy
a charge doing work against resistance
45
By heating transferred energy
Energy transferred from a hotter object to a colder object
46
By radiation transferred energy
Energy transferred by waves
47
Total energy input =
Useful energy output + waste
48
Efficiency =
Useful energy transferred by device / total energy supplied to device
49
What does lubrication do ?
Reduces energy transferred by friction
50
What does dissipated mean?
Energy is spread out
51
What does insulation reduce ?
The rate of energy transfer by heating
52
What is non-renewable energy?
Energy resources that will run out one day Fossil fuels Nuclear fuel
53
What are the three main fossil fuels?
Coal Oil Gas
54
Are fossil fuels cheap or expensive to extract
Cheap
55
How do fossil fuels create environmental problems?
``` They release co2 into the atmosphere Adds to the greenhouse gases Contributes to global warming Releases sulfur dioxide which causes acid rain. Oil spillage ```
