10.1 Flashcards
Investigating force and acceleration tes
-use newton meter to pull trolley along a known distance with constant force
-motion sensor and computer can beusednto record velocity of trolley as accelerates
What is formula for resultant force
Resultant force = mass x acceleration
Newtons, kg, metres per sevind squared
Whatbis newtons second law
Acceleration of an object is proportional to resultant force on object and inversely proportional to the mass of an object
What is inertia
Tendency to stay at rest or in uniform motion
What is weight
Rhe weight of an object is the force acting on it due to gravity which is measured in N
Shat is mass
Depends on the quantity of matter in it which is measured in kg
Formula for weight
Mass x garvitational field strength
N=kgxn/kg
What do friction and wir resitance do to vehicle
Oppose driving force of vehicle
What si thinking distnace
The distance travlled before the brakes are applied and how long takes for vehicle to react
What is braking distnace
Distance travlled by vehicle during the time the braking force acts
Factors affecting braking distnace
Mass of vehicle, spped of vehicle, vehicle brakes state, states of tures, state of road
Factors affecting thinking distnace
Level of alertness
Drugs or alcohol
Distractions in vehicle
Speed of vehicle
What is momentum law of conversation
When 2 objects interwvt in a closed system thier momentum is conserved
What is momentum formula
Velocity x mass
Kgm/s=kg x m/s
Hwo to tell if object is elastic
If returns to originalnshape when forces deforming it are removed
