What is the Conservation of Momentum?
Momentum Before = Momentum After
What is the Equation for Momentum?
Momentum = Mass X Velocity
What is the unit for Momentum?
kgm/s
What is Work Done to an Elastic Object stored as?
Elastic Potential Energy
What is the Limit of Proportionality?
The maximum that the elastic object can take and still extend proportionally.
What is Work Done?
When a force moves an object through a distance,energy is transferred and work is done.
What is the equation for Gravitational Potential Energy?
GPE = Mass x Gravity x Height
What is the Stopping Distance?
It is the distance covered by a Vehicle in the time between when the Driver first spotted a Hazard,and the Vehicle coming to a stop.
What two factors affect the Stopping Distance?
The Braking Distance
The Thinking Distance
What is the Thinking Distance?
The distance the Vehicle travels during the driver’s reaction time.
What is the Braking Distance?
It is the Distance the car travels from the fine the car begins braking until it stops.
What is the Thinking Distance affected by?
How fast you’re going.
How tired you are.
Drugs/Alcohol
What is the Braking Distance affected by?
How fast you’re going.
The quality of the car’s Brakes.
The quality of the tyres.
How good the grip is,which depends on the surface,weather,and tyre quality.
What is a Reaction Force?
When 2 objects interact,the forces they exert on each other are equal,and in opposite directions.
In which direction does Friction work in?
It acts in the opposite to the movement of the object.
What is Terminal Velocity?
When the frictional force is equal to the accelerating force.
What increases as Speed increases?
Drag
What does the Frictional Force of a Skydiver depend on?
Shape and Area
Why don’t all objects fall to the ground at the same time?
Because of Air Resistance
What is the Resultant Force?
The overall on a point or an object.
What does a Resultant Force have?
A direction
What are the three rules of the Resultant Force?
If the Resultant Force on a stationary object is 0,the object will remain stationary.
If there is no resultant force on a moving object,it’ll carry on moving at the same velocity.
If there is a non-zero resultant force,then the object will accelerate in the direction of the force.
What is Gravitational Force?
The force of attraction between all masses.
What is Mass?
Is the amount of stuff in an object,measures in kilograms. It will have the same value anywhere.
