1 Force and Motion Flashcards
Weight
Weight(N) = Mass(KG) * Gravitational Field Strength (N/KG)
Force
- Force(N) = Mass(KG) x Acceleration(M/S²)
- Force(N) = Change in momentum (kgm/s) / time(s)

Final Speed squared
V²
- Final Speed squared = Initial Speed Squared + 2(Acceleration x Displacement)
- V²(m/s) = U²(m/s) + 2(A(m/s²) x S(m))
Acceleration
Acceleration(M/S²) = (Final Speed(m/s) - Initial Speed(m/s)) / Time(s)
Momentum
Momentum (kgm/s) = Mass(Kg) x Velocity(m/s)
Moment
Moment (Nm) = Force(N) x Distance(M)
Pressure
Pressure(Pa) = Force(N) / Area(M^2)
Density
Density(Kg/M^3) = Mass(KG) / Volume(M^3)
Elastic behaviour
Ability of a material to recover its original shape after the forces causing the deformation have been rmoved
Stopping distance
stopping distance = thinking distance + braking distance
Hooke’s law
The extension of a string is proportional to the force applied until the limit of proportionality is reached
