Q

What is the conservation of momentum

A

When two objects push each other apart they move with different speeds if they have unequal masses, and with equal and opposite momentum so their total momentum is zero

Q

What is terminal velocity

A

When an object moves at a steady speed in a constant direction because the
resultant force acting on it is zero

27
Q

How is terminal velocity reached

A

-At the start the object accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity
-As the object’s speed increases frictional forces such as air resistance or drag increase
-At terminal velocity the weight of the object due to gravity is balanced by the frictional forces and the resultant force is zero

28
Q

What are the forces on a parachutist

A

-when parachutist jumps they accelerate due to gravity
-as they accelerate drag increases therefore drag and gravity balance reaching terminal velocity
-they drop at constant speed
-parachute opens increased surface area causes drag to increase
-they decelerate
-eventually both gravity and drag balances reaching terminal velocity again but at much lower altitude

29
Q

What does SUVAT stand for

A

S=distance
U=initial velocity
V=final velocity
A=acceleration
T=time

30
Q

What is the stopping distance

A

31
Q

What is the formula for stopping distance

A

Stopping distance = Thinking distance + Braking distance

32
