P10 Flashcards
The greater the resultant force on an object…
The greater the acceleration
The greater the mass of the object…
The smaller the acceleration of a given force
Momentum
Mass times velocity
Kgm/s
The resultant force acting on an object is
F=m a
What is weight
The weigh of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity
What is mass
The quantity of matter in the object
What acceleration does an object only affected by gravity travel
10m/s squared
Inertia
Objects will continue with the same speed and direction unless a force acts on it
What is terminal velocity
Terminal velocity is when the weight of the object is equal to frictional force on it when falling
When an object is at terminal velocity what is the resultant force
Zero
What opposes the driving force of a vehicle?
Friction and air resistance
What makes up the stopping distance of a vehicle
Thinking distance and braking distance
Equation for momentum
P= m v
Unit for momentum
Kg m/s
What is a closed system
The total momentum before an event is the same as the total momentum after the event
