32
Q

Stopping distance equation

A

Stopping distance - thinking distance + braking distance

33
Q

What affects thinking time

A
  • Reaction time (tierdness, drugs or alcohol)
  • Distraction of phone or music
  • Speed of car (faster speed)
34
Q

What affects braking distance

A
  • Road conditions (ice or oil)
  • Condition of brakes/tyres (affects friction that opposes motion)
  • Speed of car (faster speed)
35
Q

Weight equation

A

Weight = mass x gravitational field strength

36
Q

Weight symbol equation

A

W = mg

37
Q

Force (basic) equation

A

Force = mass x acceleration

38
Q

Force (basic) symbol equation

A

F = ma

39
Q

How is terminal velocity of a falling object reached

A
  • Initially, only weight acts, causing acceleration due to gravity (there is an unbalanced force)
  • Drag opposes, and so there is less unbalanced forces, so a smaller acceleration
  • Drag increases as speed increases, so weight and drag are balanced
  • There is no resultant force, and the forces are balanced
  • Travels at a constant (terminal) velcoity, until a force is imposed
40
Q

Conservation of moments equation

The turning effect of a force

44
Q

Define the centre of gravity

A

The point at which all weight appears to act

45
Q

State Hooke’s law

A

Extension is directly proportional to the force applied

46
Q

Extension equation

A

Extension = stretched length - original (equalibrium) length

47
Q

How to set up a Hooke’s law experiment

A

Attach a spring to a clamp, next to a ruler. Add force and measure distances

48
Q

Does a spring obey Hooke’s law

A
  • Yes
  • Straight line through origin
  • Can recover original shape after force causing deformation has been removed
49
Q

Does a spring obey Hooke’s law

A
  • Yes
  • Straight line through origin
  • Can recover original shape after force causing deformation has been removed
50
Q

Does a ruber band obey Hooke’s law

A
  • No
  • Non-linear relationship
  • Curved line
51
Q

Does a metal wire obey Hooke’s law

A
  • Yes, until it’s elastic limit has been reached
  • There it becomes permenantly deformed, and won’t return to original length when force has been removed
52
Q

Does a metal wire obey Hooke’s law

A
  • Yes, until it’s elastic limit has been reached
  • There it becomes permenantly deformed, and won’t return to original length when force has been removed
53
Q

Momentum equation

A

Momentum = mass x velocity

54
Q

Momentum equation

A

Momentum = mass x velocity

55
Q

Momentum symbol equation

A

58
Q

Force (momentum) symbol equation

A

F = (mv -mu) / t

59
Q

A

Total momentum before = total momentum after

60
Q

Conservation of momentum (symbol)

A

MaUa + MbUb = MaVa + MbVb

61
Q

Conservation of momentum (symbol)

A

MaUa + MbUb = MaVa + MbVb

62
Q

How does a safety feture prevent harm in a veichle

A
  • Impulse = force x time
  • To produce the change in momentum required to stop the car, a force needs to be applied in the opposite direction to motion
  • The feture increases the time taken to stop the care, so less force is required to change momentum
  • The car is safer
