Q

What is weight and the formula

A

Weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object

Weight = mass x accelerarion due to gravity(g)

Q

Momentum and the formula

A

A property of a moving object which depends on how much mass the object has and how fast it is moving

Momentum(p) = mass x velocity

Q

What is an elastic object

A

One which regains it shape when the force deforming it (squashing or stretching) are removed-when it is deformed the energy which caused it to deform is stored as the electric energy, which is released when the force is removed

17
Q

Compression

A

When a force is exerted on an object it will be compressed

18
Q

Tension

A

An object can be in tension when a force pulls on a object

19
Q

What is proportionality

A

Corresponding in size or amount to something else

20
Q

Hooks law and formula

A

The extension of a spring is proportinal to the force applied provided it’s limit of proportinailty is not exceeded

Force applied(N) = spring constant (k(n/m)) x extension changex(m)

21
Q

What if a speing pass it’s limit of proportianitly

A

The material will start to behave in a non linear way and will no longer to start to deform and regain it’s shape
