Q

How do you find the displacement of an object when a velocity time graph has a negative section?

A

You subtract the negative bit as it is negative displacement meaning that the particle is getting closer to the origin

Q

On a velocity time graph how do you calculate the total distance?

Q

What is unique about the constant acceleration SUVAT equations?

How can this be used to out advantage?

A

Each SUVAT equation is missing 1 variable

This means that we only need 3/5 of the variable to use SUVAT

Q

How do you solve a standard constant acceleration formulae question?

What about if they is a part b? Why?

A

You write SUVAT down the side of you page and fill in the values.
Put a ? next to the value that you want to work out
Find the correct SUVAT equation and write it down
Fill in your values and find the missing variable and solve for it

If there is a part b you will be able to use any of the SUVAT equations.
You should use the equation which doesn’t have the value that you worked out in it (so if your value is wrong you don’t loose 2 marks only 1)

a) Work out distance traveled in the 40 seconds. b) Work out the acceleration in the 40 seconds.

Q

Using constant acceleration SUVAT equations how do you work out the distance until 1 car overtakes a different car?

A

Write SUVAT twice down your page and fill in what you know
When 1 car overtakes the other their displacement will be the same so you can say s=s
If the question tells you that 1 car leaves latter than another you say that car b’s time is t-(time specified)
You can then find the variable s in terms of t (or another variable)
You then know that s=xt and you can therefore for car a.
You do the same for car b but you substitute xt in for s
You solve for t
You then put in your value for t (for car b) into your equation (t-(take taken) to find the real value for t (one value may be negative and therefore you know that it can’t be that one)

17
Q

On a displacement time graph what does a horizontal line represent?

A

The particle is stationary

18
Q

On a displacement time graph what does the gradient represent?

A

The velocity of the particle

19
Q

On a displacement time graph what does a curved line represent?

A

Acceleration of deceleration

20
Q

On a displacement time graph how do you calculate velocity?

A

(Distance from the starting point) ÷ Time

21
Q

On a displacement time graph how do you calculate speed?

A

(Total distance traveled) ÷ Time

22
Q

Can speed be negative?

A

No

23
Q

What is gravity measured in?

A

g

24
Q

What is the value or gravity?

A

Depends on your positive direction but normally -9.8

25
Q

What are the 2 often mistake made in exams about gravity?

A

Making gravity positive when it should be negative

The questions says assume that gravity is 10g

26
Q

When do you use SUVAT equations?

A

When acceleration is constant
Gravity is constant
