(1) Forces and Motion Flashcards
Plot and explain distance time graphs
- If the gradient is getting steeper it means the speed is increasing/if the gradient is getting flatter it means the speed is decreasing.
- Label axis
- Origin always starts at zero
- Line of best fit should go through as many points as possible

Use the relationship between final speed, initial speed, acceleration and distance moved
- (final speed)² = (initial speed)² + (2 x acceleration x distance moved)
- v² = u² + (2 x a x s)
Describe the effects of forces between bodies such as changes in speed, shape or direction
- Changes in speed: Forces can cause bodies to speed up or slow down.
- Changes in direction: Forces can cause bodies to change their direction of travel.
- Changes in shape: Forces can cause bodies to stretch, compress, or deform.
Identify different types of force such as gravitational or electrostatic
Contact Forces:
* Friction
* Air resistance
* Tension
* Normal reaction force
* Upthrust
* Thrust
Non-Contact Forces:
* Gravitational force
* Magnetic force
* Electrostatic force
Understand how vector quantities differ from scalar quantities
A vector quantity is a quantity with both magnitude and direction.
A scalar quantity is a quantity with only magnitude
Understand that force is a vector quantity (+ all the vector and scalar quantities)
Everything in brackets is not specified in spec sheet.
Scalar quantities:
* Density
* Temperature
* Area
* Volume
* Energy
* Mass
* Speed
* Distance
* Length
* Pressure
Vector Quantities:
* Velocity
* Force
* Acceleration
* Weight
* Displacement

Know and use the relationship between unbalanced force, mass and acceleration
force = mass x acceleration
f = m x a
Know and use the relationship between weight, mass and gravitational field strength
weight = mass x gravitation field strength
w = m x g
Know that the stopping distance of a vehicle is made up of the sum of the ???????? distance and the ??????? distance
- Stopping
- Braking
Describe the factors affecting vehicle stopping distance, including speed, mass, road condition and reaction time
Speed:
* The faster the speed the longer the length traveled in the thinking and braking distances.
Mass:
* The heavier the vehicle the longer the length traveled in the thinking and braking distances.
Road Condition:
* Condition of brakes
* Condition of tyres
* Ice/rain on roads
Reaction Time:
* Alcohol - dulls senses
* Drugs - dulls senses
* Tiredness - dulls senses
* Distractions - reduces reaction time
Describe the forces acting on falling objects (and explain why falling objects reach a terminal velocity)
Weight of object ↓and Air resistance ↑ (Falling objects reach a terminal velocity when the air resistance has the same force as the weight of object meaning the object won’t accelerate anymore).
Practical
Investigate how extension varies with applied force for helical springs, metal wires and rubber bands
extension is directly proportional to applied force
Add picture of results
Know that the initial linear region of a force-extension graph is associated with ?????? ???
Hooke’s Law
Hooke’s Law
The extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied, provided that the limit of proportionality is not exceeded.
Elastic behaviour
The ability of a material to recover its original shape after the forces causing deformation have been removed.
Know and use the relationship between momentum, mass and velocity
momentum = mass x velocity
p = m x v
