Physics Term 1

Question 1

How to express m/s in physics?

Answer 1

m s^-1

Question 2

Equation for scientific notations + example

Answer 2

a x 10 ^b
e.g. 250000= 2.5 x 10^5

Question 3

How to find uncertainty?

Answer 3

Is half the smallest marking on the instrument used to measure data.
e.g. ruler= 65 cm ± 0.5 cm

Question 4

What is distance + symbol?

Answer 4

Distance (d) is how far an object traveled in total)

Question 5

What is displacement + symbol?

Answer 5

Displacement (s) is the net distance and direction traveled from start to the finish point.

Question 6

what are scalars?

Answer 6

quantities fully described by their magnitude (size) e.g. distance, mass, energy, speed

Question 7

what are vectors?

Answer 7

quantities that have a distance and magnitude e.g. displacement, velocity, force, acceleration

Question 8

speed equations + example

Answer 8

s=d/t
Give example

Question 9

velocity equation + example

Answer 9

v= displacement (s)/t
Give example

Question 10

acceleration equations + example

Answer 10

a= v-u/t
Give example

Question 11

Conversion equation between km/h and m/s

Answer 11

km/h divided by 3.6 = m/s
m/s times 3.6= km/h
