Dynamics Flashcards
Friction
A resistive force that opposes motion. It acts between two surfaces in contact
Acceleration of an object if there is no air on earth
9.8ms-2
Horizontal motion formula
Verticle motion formula
V=d/t
a=v-u/t.
Straight line formula
Y=mx+c
If forces are unbalanced the object is
Accelerating or decelerating
If the forces are balanced an object is
Stationary or moving at a constant speed
When calculating displacement use
Pythagoras + trigonometry
Scalar

Power
6 vector quantities
Displacement
Acceleration
Velocity
Weight
Momentum
Force
Vector
Quantity fully described by its magnitude unit and direction
Terminal velocity
Constant speed when the forces are balanced
Acceleration
Change in velocity per second
