the pole of a magnet that seeks the earth’s north magnetic pole.

18
Q

Reaction time

A

the interval between stimulation and response

19

Repel

A

to resist effectively

20
Q

S.L units

A

Seven different units. temperature, time, length, mass, luminous intensity, amount of substance and electric current

21
Q

South pole

A

the pole of a magnet that seeks the earth’s south magnetic pole.

22
Q

Speed

A

Metres per second

23
Q

Ticker time

A

When you work out the speed of an object you need to know how far it goes in a certain time. The distance is fairly easy to find, use a ruler, but if the object is moving quickly the time it takes will be hard to measure. The ticker timer makes dots on a paper tape every fiftieth of a second.

24
Q

Time

A

a point of time as measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon

25
Q

Unbalanced force

A

Uneven forces

26
Q

Velocity

A

the speed of something in a given direction
