force and acceleration Flashcards
explain required practical car and acceleration
so ypu have a toy car attached to a string attached to a pulley attached to a weight which starts at like 100g and is lying off the table. the table has chalk marks of the distance the car will travel. record the experiment for timings as its very fast and release the weight. repeat this with different weights. you can also do this with dif masses on the car which will slow down acceleration
whats newtons second law of motion
acceleration is proportional to force applied
acceleration is inversely prop to mass of an object
F = A x M
whats inetia
an objects tendancy to stay at rest or in uniform motion
/how difficult it is to change the motion of an object
what is grav field strength measured in
N/KG
whar is terminal velocity
-when an objects oposing force speeds up and becomes equal to its weight and there is no resultnat force, stopping acceleration
- max velocity attainable by an object moving through a fluid
what is stopping distance
thinking+ breaking, shortest distance a car can safely stop
whats thinking distance
distance travelled by car whilst it takes the driver to react
whats breaking distance
distance travlled by car in time the brakes act
thinsg that effect thinkin distance
alcohol tiredness speed phones
velocity distance accelaeration STUPID equation
V2 - U2 = 2AS
what increases the braking force and what is it
- force required to stop a vehicle
- needs more force if the car is going faster or if it weighs more
momentum equation
momentum = mass x velocity
momentum in a closed system
its equal before and after
how to calculate extention
stretched - original
whats hookes law
when a spring is stretched furthe rthan it can bounce back it becomes inproprtional to the amount of forced put on it to stretch
therefore on a graph it will not be a line
