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
whats hookes law as an equation
F = K x E
WHATs a spring consatnt
force needed to extend the spring by one meter
whats inertial mass
how hard it is to change the velocity of an object
whats weight
force acting on an object due to gravity
whats mass
the quantity of matter in an object
limit of proportionality/ elastic limit
furthest a spring can be stretched before the extension stops being proprtional to the force applied/ inelastic deformation
elastic deformation
change in an objects shape which can be reversed
whta does the area uder a force extension graph show
elastic potential energy
inelastic deformation
change in shape of an object which cannot be reversed once the forces have been removed
whats deformation
change in shape of an object
what affects braking distance
- tyre quality
- break squility
- texture of road
- mass of vehicle
- speed of vehicle
if a vehicle drives twice as fast, the breaking distance..
will increase by four
whats normal contact force
when something pushes back against your force applied w an equal and opposite force
