Q

What is newton’s second law

A

the accelertaion of an object is proportional to the resultant force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of each object .
experessed as
resultant corce = mass a
f=m

Q

describe motion of diver enetring water

A

as diver enters wate , they diver will decelerate as air resistance in water is greater than in the air , Upwardds force on diver m so upwards resultant force .

16
Q

what is braking distance

A

the distance travelled by the vehicle after dirver applies break

17
Q

How do u calcule braking distance

A

f=m*a =brking distance

18
Q

how do u calculate stopping distance

A

stopping ditsnce = thinking distance +brakinng distance

19
Q

what factor affect thinking ditsance and why

A

tiredness and alchol affect thinking ditance as they increase thinking distance so stopping distance is greater .
And mobile

20
Q

factors affecitng braking distance

A

weaher -slippery-stopping distance increases

Worn out tyres - take longer to break

21
Q

Required practical 1

A

accelration is proportional to FORCE

22
Q

why would more mass =more inenerita

A

as it is more difficult to stop start and change direction

23
Q

independenr variabalesof p1

A

independent-change in mass
Dependent variable -accelration of troley
control - 20cm intervals on bench

24
Q

Method for p1

A

Attach a string to the object and hang the string over a pulley on the edge of the
table.
2. Connect a weight stack to the other end of the string.
3. Use either a ruler and a stopwatch or a set of light gates to measure the velocity
of the object as it moves.
4. Add a weight to the weight stack and record the velocity of the object at different
points.
5. Vary the weights on the weight stack and record the change in velocity for each weight

25
Q

improvement for both practicls

A

use a light gate - more accurae timngns

26
Q

extend practical

A

further distances , more masses

27
Q

requried practical 2

A

acceleration is inversley proportion to mass

28
Q

required practical variables

A

independent varibales - changin mass in trolley
dependent - acceration
contol - 20cm intervals on bench

29
Q

method

A

record intial mass of trolley
attach chosen mass to a string which owuld be a constant force on the teolley
release trolley andsimultaneously start stopwatch and time how long it takes for the trolley to ravel
repeat the pervious steps by increasin mass of trolley eachtime .

30
Q

how to work otu acceleration

A

change in velocity /time taken

31
Q

newtons first law

A

if the resultant force acting on a stationary object is zero , then the object will remain stationary , or keeps movig at the same spped in the same direction .

32
Q

Describe sky diver ju,pingout

A

as soon as they jump , the sky diver accelerates rapidly , as th only force acting on them is weight , this is due to gravity .
Downwards resultant force .
They skdiver experiences friction with the air molecules this is air -reistnce .
However weight is greatee rhna air restiance so continues to accelerate downwards .
as the velocity increases - air resistance also increases
at a certai n point both forces are balaned , has reached terminal velocity - reusltant force is zero .
Open Parachute :- surface increasses , air resistnce mssively increases .
At this point , air resistance now greater than the weight so resultant force is upwards .
This causes the skydiver to decellerate , velocity decreses =air ressitane increses .

So sky diver falling at lower temrinal velocity , safe for them to hit the ground

34
Q

factors affecitng terminal velocity

A

mass - bigger mass-larger termial velocity
larger tsurfae area - lowee the terminal velocity
Density of fluid - denser the fluid - lower the terminal velocity .

35
Q

terminal velocity meaning

A

velocity reached by an objects when the drag force on it is euqal and opposite to the force making it move .
