Q

Gravity has a force of pulling two what together?

A

Gravity has a force of pulling two different objects together

17
Q

The bigger the object the bigger the what?

A

The bigger the object the bigger the gravitational pull

18
Q

In space what would your weight be?

A

0 N

19
Q

What does not change in space?

A

Your mass does not change in space

20
Q

What is the formula for speed?

A

Speed = distance / times

21
Q

What is the time formula?

A

Time = distance/speed

22
Q

What is the distance formula?

A

Distance = speed * time

23
Q

Why does your maths not change in space?

A

Your master is not change because you haven’t taken any stuff away from yourself

24
Q

Does your weight change in space?

A

Yes because the gravitational pull varies on each planet

25
Q

What is a pivot?

A

A pivot turns around but doesn’t move place

26
Q

The further away from the pivot you get what is greater?

A

The further away from the pivot the greater the turning force (moment)

27
Q

What is the formula for turning force (moment)?

A

T.F (moment) = force * distance from pivot

28
Q

What is the formula for distance from pivot?

A

Distance from pivot = T.F (moment)/force

29
Q

What is the formula for force?

A

Force = T.F (moment)/distance from pivot

30
Q

The smaller surface area the what pressure?

A

Smaller surface area the higher the pressure

31
Q

The Large surface area is what pressure?

A

The larger the surface area to lower the pressure

32
Q

The formula for pressure?

A

Pressure = force/area

33
Q

The formula for force?

A

Force = pressure* area

34
Q

The formula for area?

A

Area = force/pressure

35
Q

What is the T.F (moment) affected by?

A

The size of the force (weight)

The distance from the pivot

36
Q

The lower down to earth and get the atmospheric pressure is what?

A

The lower down to earth and get the atmospheric pressure is higher

37
Q

In an aeroplane the air pressure is a lot lower explain this?

A

The pressure in an aeroplane is a lot lower because you are higher from the earth
