Q

What is a vernier caliper?

A

it consists of a main scale and a sliding vernier scale

21
Q

what is a micrometer screw gauge?

A

it is used to measure anything less than 1 cm and is too small for the vernier calipers to measure

22
Q

what is terminal velocity?

A

it is the greatest speed that a falling object can reach

23
Q

what are scalar quantities?

A

Quantities that are measured with numbers and units.e.g length,temp,time.

24
Q

what are vector quantities?

A

quantities that are measured with numbers and units but also have a specific direction.

25
Q

name 5 vector quantities?

A

displacement,velocity,acceleration,force,weight,friction,momentum,moment.

26
Q

name 5 scalar quantities?

A

mass,length,distance,speed,power,energy and work

27
Q

what does the area under a velocity time graph represent?

A

the distance covered

28
Q

what is mass?

A

Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an

object.

29
Q

how can the mass of an object change?

A

The mass of an object will not change unless we add

or subtract matter from it.

30
Q

what is used in measuring mass?

A

use a triple beam balance and

a digital top-balance to
measure mass.

31
Q

how do u calculate weight?

A

weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)

32
Q

what are features of mass?

A

Always remains constant

Does not depend on gravity

Measured in Kg

Measured with a Top-Balance

33
Q

what are features of weight?

A

Depends on gravity

weight=mass x gravity

weight of an object changes if the gravity changes

Measured in N

Measured with a spring balance

34
Q

what does inertia depend on?

A

depends on the mass of
the body:

The bigger the mass the more the
Inertia

The smaller the mass the less the
inertia.

35
Q

what is inertia?

A

the natural tendency of an object to resist change in its state.
or
The inbuilt reluctance of a body to want to remain at rest or to continue in uniform motion is called the INERTIA.
