Force Motion And Energy Flashcards
What is force?
A push, pull, or a twist
What is mass?
Amount of matter (kg)
What is weight?
Force due to gravity (N)
What is distances measured in?
Meters (m)
What is mass measured in?
Grams (g)
What is force measured in?
Newtons (N)
What is velocity measured in?
Metres per second (ms-1)
What does friction produce?
Heat which warps metals
How do we reduce friction?
Lubricants like oils and bearings
Speed increases from 5 to 20ms-1 in 5 seconds
Calculate acceleration?
20-5/5=15/5=3ms-2
A 1200kg car accelerates 5ms-2
Calculate force?
1200x5=6000n
How do we calculate the net force?
Subtract the smaller force from the larger in the other direction.
What is my weight if my mass is 70kg?
700N
What is the rule of energy conservation?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it is simply changed from one form to another.
What are the two types of energy?
Stored (potential) energy and active energy
