Motion And Energy Flashcards
Speed
Distance / time
Difference between speed and velocity
Velocity is a speed in a certain direction
Acceleration
Change in velocity / time
Inertia
U inform motion
Newton’s first law
Object stays at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force
Momentum
Mass x velocity
Conservation of momentum
Cannot be created or destroyed
Newton’s second law
Force = mass x acceleration
Force =
Rate of change of momentum
Weight
Mg
Gfs
10N/kg
Terminal velocity involves what forces
drag force of resistance
Gravitational pull
Newton’s third law
Every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Work equ
Force x distance moved in direction of force
Work done ?
Transfer of energy
PotentiaL energy
Mgh
What do crumple zones and road safety do
Decrease stopping distances
Power =
Energy transfer / time
Percentage efficiency
Useful output / input x 100
