Accleration

Question 1

What is the equation we use to work out acceleration?

Answer 1

• Change in velocity divided by time taken for change

Question 2

Describe what happens if the resultant force is zero

Answer 2

• Movement of the object does not change

Question 3

If the object is stationary what will it be?

Answer 3

• It will remain stationary

Question 4

What happens with a moving object?

Answer 4

• It will remain at a constant velocity

Question 5

Now doing the opposite, what happens if the resultant force is NOT zero

Answer 5

• The object will acclerate in the direction of resultant force

Question 6

What is the equation we will use to work out force?

Answer 6

• Force (N) = Mass (KG) + Accleration

Question 7

What does the size of accleration depend on?

Answer 7

• Size of force so for same mass the bigger the force the bigger the accleration
• Mass of object so for same force, the more massive the object the smaller the accleration
