17
Q

What does the term ‘closed system’ mean?

A

A system with no external forces acting on it

18
Q

What is the conservation of Momentum?

A

The total moment before an event has the same momentum after the event

19
Q

What is the effect of force on acceleration?

A

The greater the resultant force, the greater the objects acceleration

20
Q

Why do cars make safety systems to prolong thr length of impact time?

A

The longer the impact time, the more the impact force is reduced

21
Q

What is inertia?

A

The tendency of an object to continue to move at the same motion - even after an event

22
Q

Explain why an egg is less likely to break when dropped onto soft foam rather than onto a concreate floor? (GCSE question)

A

Softer landing will reduce the impact force

The longer the impact time, the more the impact force is reduced

23
Q

What is the equation linking force, spring constant and extension?

A

Force = spring constant x extension

24
Q

How do you calculate Elastic potential energy?

A

Elastic potential energy = 1/2 x spring constant x extension°2
