Gravitational field strength

A

If object is on earth and not falling

17
Q

Drag force

A

Resists object

18
Q

Terminal velocity

A

Constant velocity

19
Q

What can drag force also be called

A

Fluid resistance air resistance

20
Q

Hooke’s law

A

Extension is directly proportional to the force applied if the limit of proportionality is not exceeded

21
Q

Equation for Hooke’s law

A

Force applied= spring constant multiplied by extension

22
Q

A spring has a spring constant of 30N/m. If the extension is 0.30 what is the force applied

A

30 multiplied by 0.30 = 9N

23
Q

How can we tell a spring has exceeded it’s limit of proportionality

A

The straight line on a graph of extension curves

24
Q

Fuel economy

A

Reducing the speed of a vehicle reduces amount of fuel used to travel a particular distance

25
Q

Why does making a vehicle more streamlined improve the fuel economy

A

As it reduces the air resistance
