17
Q

Moment

A

A turning force that is measured in Newtons that with distance measured in meters

18
Q

How to increase a moment

A

increase the force applied to increase the distance from the pivot

19
Q

Moment equation

A

Moment (Nm) = Force (N) X Distance (M)

20
Q

Measurement that moments

A

Nm (Newton meters)

21
Q

Lever purpose

A

Levers are force multipliers that reduce the force needed to perform tasks

22
Q

law of moments

A

When an objects is not turning around a pivot, the total clock-wise moment must be exactly balanced by the total anti-clockwise moment

23
Q

When opposing moments are balanced

A

Sum of clockwise moments = sum of anti-clockwise moments = equilibrium

24
Q

Equation for two moments

A

F1 X D1 = F2 X D2

25
Q

Pressure measurement

A

a measure of how much force is applied over a certain area

26
Q

What direction does pressure act

A

90˚ to the surface

27
Q

Pressure equation

A

Pressure (N/M2) = Force (N) ÷ Area (M2)

28
Q

Pressure def

A

pressure is force of moving particles colliding with a barrier, particles both collide internally and externally

29
Q

Solid particle arrangement

A

All atoms are the same size, regular arrangement, compact, particles vibrate around a fixed point

30
Q

Liquid particle arrangement

A

Atoms are the same size, irregular arrangement, liquid can flow, particles can flow over each other, not fixed

31
Q

Gas particle arrangement

A

Particles are spread out and fill any volume of a container

32
Q

Relationship with pressure and altitude

A

The lower the altitude, the more pressure since more layers of particles are pushing down

33
Q

How is pressure caused

A

Collisions of particles

34
Q

2 factors that effect pressure

A

quantity and temperature

35
Q

relationship with the 2 factors and pressure

A

the more the quantity of particles or the higher the temperature the higher the pressure

36
Q

Mass

A

how much matter something has

37
Q

Volume

A

How much space something takes up

38
Q

Density

A

The amount of particles/atoms in a certain volume of confined space

39
Q

Millimetres

A

On tenth of a centimeter

40
Q

Density equation

A

Density (Kg/M3) = Mass (Kg) ÷ Volume (M3)
