17
Q

Describe the motion of a moving car experiencing balanced forces.

A

Keep moving at a constant speed

18
Q

Describe the motion of a moving car experiencing unbalanced forces.

A

The car will change speed (either accelerate or decelerate)

19
Q

Describe the motion of a stationary car experiencing balanced forces.

A

The car will remain stationary.

20
Q

Describe the motion of a stationary car experiencing unbalanced forces.

A

The car will accelerate.

21
Q

What are typical everyday speeds for cars, trains and planes?

A
  • Car 25 m/s
  • Train 55 m/s
  • Plane 250 m/s
22
Q

If your mass on Earth is 50 kg, what would be your mass on the moon?

A

The same, 50 kg.

Your mass does not change.

23
Q

Name the equipment used to measure forces

A

Newtonmeter

24
Q

Name the forces acting on the book.

A

Weight (downwards)
Normal contact force (upwards)

25
Q

Describe the experiment to investigate how force affects the extension of the spring.

A
  • Measure the starting length of the spring using the ruler.
  • Add one 10 g mass, measure the extension of the spring using the ruler.
  • Repeat 5 times, each time adding one 10 g mass and measuring the extension of the spring.
26
Q

What equation links force, distance and moment of a force?

A

Moment of a force = force x distance

27
Q

What is a moment?

A

A turning effect of a force

28
Q

What are the SI units for:

a) moment
b) force
c) distance

A

a) newton-metres, Nm
b) newtons, N
c) metres, m

29
Q

If an object is balanced, what is true about the size of the clockwise and anti-clockwise moments?

A

They are equal in size.

30
Q

What equation links pressure, force and area?

31
Q

What two things does pressure in a liquid depend on?

A
  • Depth
  • Density of the liquid
32
Q

What are the SI units for:

a) Pressure
b) Force
c) Area

A

a) Pressure is measured in pascals (Pa)
b) Force is measured in newtons (N)
c) Area is measured in metres squared (m2)

33
Q

Describe and explain the relationship between the depth of a liquid and pressure.

A
  • As depth increases, pressure increases.
  • Because, as depth increases, the number of particles above increases.
  • Pressure increases because of the increased weight of particles above.
34
Q

Describe the motion in the following distance-time graph at point (b).

A

b) stationary

35
Q

Describe the motion in the following distance-time graph at point (c).

A

c) accelerating

36
Q

Describe the motion in the following distance-time graph at points a, b, c and d.

A

d) decelerating

37
Q

In what direction does liquid pressure act?

A

All directions

38
Q

Name the force acting upwards on objects in water

39
Q

When the weight of an object in water equals the upthrust on the object, what happens?

A

The object floats

40
Q

What two forces must be balanced for an object to float?

A

weight and upthrust

41
Q

What happens to liquid pressure as depth increases?

A

It increases
