9I - Forces and Motion Flashcards
Speed ( KM / H )=
Distance ( KM) / Time ( H )
Moments ( NM ) =
Force ( N ) x Distance from PIVOT ( M )
Work Done ( J )
Force ( N ) x Distance in direction of FORCE ( M )
The main stores of energy are
Kinetic , Gravitational Potential , Elastic Potential , Chemical and Thermal
Example of Kinetic energy store
Any moving object (car, airplane, e.t.c.)
Example of Gravitational potential store
Any object above the ground (holding a book up)
Example of Elastic Potential energy store
Any object with a rubber band (Slingshot)
Example of chemical energy store
Food, Coal, Batteries
Example of Thermal energy store
A radiator
The main energy transfers are
Heating , Electrical , Radiation and Mechanical
Example of Heating transfer
Friction
Example of electrical transfer
plugging in a socket
Example of radiation transfer
turning on a light
Example of mechanical transfer
steam or fuel in a car
Accelerate
get faster
Upthrust
a force that acts upwards
