Q

Effects of forces

A

Forces can act on a body to change the velocity, so the speed, direction or both.
Or forces can change the shape of a body stretching it, squishing it or twisting it.

Q

Vector

A

A vector is both magnitude (size) and direction

17
Q

Scalar

A

When something is not a vector (doesn’t have size or direction)

18
Q

Force is a vector quantity

A

Force has a magnitude measured in (N) but it also has a direction, a push or a pull, up, down, left or right. So force is a vector.

19
Q

Friction always act in the …. direction to motion

A

opposite

20
Q

force equation

A

force = mass x acceleration

21
Q

Weight equation

A

weight = mass x gravitational field strength (10)

22
Q

Sum of stopping distance

A

Thinking distance + breaking distance

23
Q

Factors that affect thinking distance

A

Tiredness, alcohol consumption, medicines, drugs (avoid it) and phone

24
Q

Factors that affect breaking distance

A

Wet roads, icy roads, driving too fast, breaks worn out, tyres worn out.

25
Q

forces acting on falling objects

A

1) At the start of his jump the air resistance is 0 so he accelerated downwards
2) As his speed increases air resistance increases
3) Eventually air resistance will be enough to equal his weight. The forces become balanced so his speed is constant (Terminal velocity)

26
Q

Hooke’s law

A

extension is directly proportional to force applied. This is shown by the straight line on the force-extension graph. Hooke’s law is obeyed as long as the line is straight.

27
Q

Elastic behaviour

A

the ability of a material to recover its original shape after the forces causing deformation have been removed
