P10 Flashcards
1
Q
Mass.
A
The amount of matter in a substance (KG) remains constant in any gravity
2
Q
Weight
A
In newtons, how an object’s mass is affected by gravity. Weight (N) = mass x 9.81
3
Q
Force
A
Can change the speed of an object, the direction it’s going in, or it’s shape.
Force (N) = mass (KG) x acceleration (m/s squared)
4
Q
Downwards acceleration from gravity
A
9.81 m/s squared
5
Q
Momentum
A
The tendancy of an object to keep moving in the same direction.
Momentum ( KG m/s) = Mass (KG) x velocity (m/s)
6
Q
Force in relation to momentum
A
Force = change in momentum/ time taken
7
Q
Force applied (to a spring) =…
A
Force applied (N) = spring constant N/m x exetnsion
