Q

What is a scalar

A

Scalars are a quantity that have magnitude (size)

20
Q

What is a vector

A

Vectors have magnitude (size) and direction

21
Q

What is the difference between displacement and distance travelled

A

Displacement is the distance from the start whereas distance is how far travelled.

22
Q

What is acceleration

A

The measure of how quickly the velocity of something is changing. It can be positive if the object is speeding up or negative if it is slowing down. Acceleration is a vector quantity.

23
Q

What is displacement

A

The distance travelled in a particular direction

24
Q

What is velocity

A

The speed of the object in a particular direction usually measured in metres per second m/s. Velocity is a vector, speed is not.

25
Q

What is momentum

A

How hard it is to make an object stop or change direction; or how much damage something might don on impact. Momentum is a vector quantity measured in kilogram metres per second Kgm/s

26
Q

What does a horizontal line on a distance time graph mean

A

The object (distance from the starting point) is not changing

27
Q

What does a straight sloping line on a distance time graph mean

A

The object is travelling at a constant speed

28
Q

What does a steeper line on a distance time graph mean

A

The the object is travelling faster

29
Q

How is speed calculated on a distance time graph

A

By the gradient of the line

30
Q

What is the equation for acceleration

A

Change in velocity m/s
acceleration= ————————————
Time taken

31
Q

What is the letters for the equation of acceleration

A

v-u
a= ——-
t

32
Q

What is the equation for acceleration (harder)

A

v2 - u2 = 2 x a x d

33
Q

How do you get accurate data for velocity and time as an object falls

A

Using light gates and a data logger as the object goes through the the first light gate and then the second it calculates the data

34
Q

What is the text book value for acceleration due to gravity

A

g = 10 m/s2

35
Q

A dog chasing a cat accelerates from the rest at 2 m/s2. How long will it take the dog to reach a velocity of 10 m/s

A

5 seconds

36
Q

What do curved lines on a distance time graph

A

Changing speed

37
Q

What is instantaneous speed

A

Speed at a particular instant

38
Q

Gradient of a velocity time graph =

A

Time

39
Q

On a velocity time graph what does a horizontal line mean

A

The object is travelling at constant velocity

40
Q

On a velocity time graph what does a sloping line mean

A

The object is accelerating

41
Q

On a velocity time graph what does a steeper line mean

A

Greater acceleration

42
Q

On a velocity time graph how do you find the distance travelled

A

Area under the graph

If you split the graph into easier shapes to calculate and then add them together to find the areal

43
Q

What is the equation of momentum

A

Mass x Velocity

44
Q

Does a slow heavy object have lots of momentum

A

Yes

45
Q

Does a small fast moving object have lots of momentum

A

Yes

46
Q

All measurements have a….

A

Magnitude

47
Q

Scalar quantities have only magnitude, vector quantities have magnitude and ….

A

Direction
