02 Motion and Force Flashcards
In which part of the graph (A, B or C) is the object moving the fastest?
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/149/q_image_thumb.png?1509797451)
A
- gradient of the line is the steepest
- more distance covered per time
- faster speed
What is the difference between the force upthrust and reaction force?
Up thrust is created when an object displaces a fluid, such as a boat displacing water.
Reaction force is the upward force on a block which is resting on a solid surface.

What is the SI unit for force?
newton or N
What type of force is created between two magnets?
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/152/q_image_thumb.png?1621985294)
magnetic force
This force can be attractive or repulsive
In which graph/s is the object travelling at a constant speed?
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/154/q_image_thumb.jpg?1510242201)
a) and e)
gradient is constant throughout
If a person has a mass of 100 kg on Earth. What will their weight be?
The gravitational field strength of the Earth is 10 N/kg
W=mg
W = 100 kg x 10 N/kg
W = 1000 N
Masses are attracted to each other. Planets are attracted to each other. Name the force acting between them.

Gravitational force
Describe what is happening in the graph and explain how you know.
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/158/q_image_thumb.png?1510239690)
The object is accelerating or speeding up from the starting position
The gradient of the line is increasing, therefore velocity is increasing.
Which sketch (red or green) represents a faster velocity?
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/160/q_image_thumb.png?1509797785)
Green- more steep line
Object is covering more distance per time
If an object has a 50 N force acting North and a 50N force acting south, what is the resultant force?
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/162/q_image_thumb.png?1621985527)
50 N - 50 N = 0 N
What is the SI unit for displacement or distance travelled?
metre or m
F= ma
Make acceleration the subject of the equation
a = F/m
Which of the following quantities are vectors?
mass
acceleration
force
speed
velocity
time
acceleration
force
velocity
In which part of the graph (A, B or C) is the object travelling back to the start.
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/166/q_image_thumb.png?1509797544)
C
-gradient of the line is negative
velocity is negative
-travelling in opposite direction to part A
What is the equation for average speed?
average speed = total distance travelled/ time taken
What type of force acts forward on a rocket?
Thrust
Thrust is created when an object throws something out in one direction- such as gases.
What type of force is reduced if an object is streamlined?
air resistance
drag
Rockets can push gas out and downward and the rocket moves upward. What is the name of this upward force on the rocket?
Thrust
What feature of a velocity-time graph gives the acceleration?
gradient of velocity-time graph

What feature of a velocity-time graph gives the distance travelled?
area under a velocity-time graph

In which graph/s is the object decelerating?
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/179/q_image_thumb.jpg?1510240249)
d)
gradient is getting less steep
What can forces do to an object?
- change the speed of the object (accelerate or decelerate)
- change the direction of the object
- change the shape of the object
A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph shows?
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/181/q_image_thumb.gif?1621985636)
constant velocity, no acceleration
A horizontal line on a distance-time graph shows what?
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/388/483/183/q_image_thumb.png?1621985197)
That the object is not moving, has zero speed
If a book is a rest on a table, what two forces are acting on it.

If an object accelerates at 10 m/s2. How fast would it be travelling after 10 s if it started at rest?
It will gain 10 metres per second every second.
After 10 s if should be travelling at 100 m/s!
What feature of a distance-time graph gives the velocity?
gradient of distance-time graph

ticker tape Z
- dots get closer together
- object is covering less distance per unit time
- object is slowing down
What can be done to reduce friction when an object is sliding on a surface?
- use oil or grease on the surfaces
- make the surfaces smoother
- blow air between the surfaces
