Forces Flashcards
Vector
Physical quantity with magnitude and direction e.g. Velocity, pressure, weight, gravity, force
Scalar
Physical quantity with magnitude only e.g. Speed, length, area, time, distance
Forces are vectors so they can change…
Shape, direction, size, speed
Define resultant force
The net force acting on an object
Net meaning overall

Newton’s 2nd Law
States that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force acting on it
Equation for newtons 2nd law
Resultant force= mass x acceleration
F = m x a
In N) (In kg) (In m/s2
Drag equation
Drag = friction + air resistance
All in N
Weight equation
W = m x g
N) (G/kg) (N/kg
What goes on the x axis
Independent variable (The one you change)
What goes on the y axis
Dependent variable (The results)
Mass stays ….. But weight and gravity …..
Constant
Vary
Resultant force equation
A = F / M
m/s2) (N) (g/kg
Speed equation
S = D / T
In m/s) (In m) (In s
What is the relationship between acceleration and mass
a (Directly proportional sign) 1/mass
