Patterns And Relationships Flashcards
(20 cards)
Speed
The Distance traveled per until time is known as the speed
Velocity
Velocity of an object is the distance it travels per until time, in a given direction
Acceleration
The change in velocity per second is known as the acceleration of a body m/s2
Stationary
On a distance time-graph, time is increasing to the right, but it’s distance does not change. It’s is stationary
Force
Forces are what makes things move, like a push or a pull
Non-contact forces
Gravity , magnetic force , electrical force
Contact forces
Friction , tension(pull) , air resistance, applied force(push) , spring force(twist)
Friction
Is the force that resists thing rubbing against each other.
Air resistance
It is the force that slows things down when they are moving
Buoyancy
It Is the force that pushes things up in water
Mass
The mass of an object is the amount of matter that is in the object
Weight
The weight of an object is the force of gravity that acts on that object
Proportional relationship
Results will often show patterns. If you increase one variable the other will increase or decrease in response
Graph
Are a good way to analyse results and discover patterns. They can show a general increase or decrease, a curve or a straight line
Anomaly
Graphs can also show results which do not follow a trend. These are known as anomaly’s. They may be due to human error (not measuring precisely or not choosing the most accurate equipment.
Directly proportional
Results may increase proportionally (by the same amount) we call this a directly proportional relationship. A good example of this is hooke’s law
Elasticity
If a material returns to its original size and shape when you remove the forces stretching or deforming it (reversible deformation)we say that the material is demonstrating elastic behaviour
A plastic or inelastic material
Is one that stays deformed after you have taken the force away. It’s deformation remains (irreversible deformation) after the forces are removed then it is a sign of plastic behaviour
Hooke’s law
Is the amount that spring stretches is proportional to the amount of force applied to it.
Hooke’s law
Is the amount of spring stretches is proportional to the amount of force applied to it
