Q

define and describe moving constant speed

A

an object moving at constant speed means the velocity is steady as both the magnitude and direction remains the same. here the forces are still balanced, however the object is moving

Q

examples of moving at constant speed

A

car cruising on the highway at a constant speed 60km/h is balanced as there is no acceleration and the forward force from the engine is balanced by the resistive forces of air resistance and friction

Q

define and describe speeding up (acceleration)

A

when an object is speeding up, it means the velocity of the object is increasing overtime. in this case the forces are unbalanced, and the net force acting on the object is in the direction of the motion

Q

define and describe slowing down (acceleration)

A

when an object is slowing down it is due to the decreasing velocity of the object. here, the net force is the opposite direction to the motion

26
Q

examples of slowing down

A

applying the brakes in a car slows down the car as the braking force overcomes the forward motion force

27
Q

what is newtown’s first law

A

newtown’s force states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state, by the action of an external force

28
Q

how do you calculate work done

A

force times distance

29
Q

what does w=Fs mean

A

work done = force times distance

30
Q

how do you calculate kinetic energy

A

1/2mv (squared) or 1/2 times mass times velocity squared

31
Q

what does k=1/2mv(squared)

A

kinetic energy = 1/2 times mass times velocity squared

32
Q

what are the particles within an atom

A
  • protons
  • neutrons
    -electrons
33
Q

characteristics of a proton

A

proton’s relative mass is 1
location: inside the nucleus so it cannot move between object
charge: positive

34
Q

characteristics of a neutron

A

neutron’s relative mass is 1
location: inside the nucleus so it cannot move between object
charge: neutral

35
Q

characteristics of a electron

A

electron’s relative mass is 0.0005
location: is outside the nucleus so it can move between objects
charge: negative

36
Q

what happens when ebonite is rubbed against wool

A

the neutral ebonite rode turns into a negative charge
the neutral wool has a positive charge

37
Q

what happens when perspex is rubbed against silk

A

the neutral perspex changes into a positive charge
the neutral silk turns into a negative charge

38
Q

how does two positively charged objects react

A

repel

39
Q

how does two negatively charged object react

A

repel

40
Q

how does one positive and one negative rod react

A

attract

41
Q

what is weight force

A

weight is the force with which an object is pulled towards the Earth

42
Q

what is the calculations for weight force

A

fw=mg or force weight = mass times acceleration due to gravity

43
Q

what does fw=mg

A

force weight = mass times acceleration due to gravity

44
Q

factors that affect gravity

A
  • mass
  • distance
    the bigger the mass and the closer increases gravitational force
45
Q

what is newton’s law of universal gravitational

A

any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them.

46
Q

what happens when gravity is acting on object orbiting

A

firstly, the forces exerted in the direction of each other are equal in magnitude. however as the masses are different the objects with the smaller mass is forced to orbit around the object with greater mass. (it means unbalanced)

47
Q

what is the motion of an object orbiting

A

newton’s first law tells us that without an unbalanced force an object will continue to stay at rest or at constant velocity, this firstly shows as that gravity is not a balanced force. rather the motion of the object in orbit is revolving around the object with the larger mass due to the unbalanced forces of gravity.

48
Q

what is behaviour of magnets

A

like poles repels
unlike poles attract

49
Q

what is a magnetic field

A

a magnetic field is the area around a magnet in which there is magnetic force such as attracting and repelling.

50
Q

what happens when another magnet enter this field?

A

what happens when another magnet enter this field it causes the repelling and attraction of magnets.

51
Q

how to set up an electromagnet

A

1.connect the power supply with the insulated wires
2.attach the insulated wires on either side of the large nail
3. change the amount of voltage accordingly
4. Switch the power

52
Q

what is a electromagnet

A

it is a type of magnet that runs on electricity as it. the electrical current causes the magnetic force to increase, growing the magnetic strength

53
Q

how to construct a graph

A
  1. identify the appropriate graph style (e.g. line, columns)
  2. set the title, y axis and x axis (make sure to write in the tittle for the axis and the units.)
    3.work the number placement
    4.draw in your data
  3. do line of best fit
54
Q

force examples

A
  • hair brush in hair (static electricity)
    -foot pushing on the pedal when you ride bike (mechanical force)
  • book on table (is gravity and normal)
  • vehicles (mechanical force of the engine)
    walking around (friction)
55
Q

magnetic examples

A
  • magnet on a paper clip
  • magnet on refrigerator
  • train tracks
56
Q

which line in the graph is the y axis

A

vertical

57
Q

which line in the graph is the x axis

A

horizontal

58
Q

which line in the graph do i plot the dependant variable

A

y, vertical

59
Q

which line in the graph do i plot the independant variable

A
