Q

Terminal velocity

A

The terminal velocity of an object is the velocity it eventually reaches when it is falling. The weight of the object is that equal to the frictional force on the object

Q

What is a close system in the context of momentum

A

A system in which the total momentum before an event is the same as the total amount momentum after the event. This is called conservation of momentum

Q

What happens when two objects push each other apart

A

They move a different speeds if they have unequal masses and with equal and opposite momentum so the total momentum is zero

Q

What does the force of the impact depend on when vehicles collide

A

On the mass, change of velocity and the length of the impact time

24
Q

How does impact time affect the impact force

A

The longer the impact time the more the impact forces reduce

25
What happens when two vehicles collide
They exert equal and opposite forces on each other | The total momentum is unchanged
26
Impact force equation
Impact force = change of momentum / impact time | So the short the impact on the greater impact force
27
How do you cycle helmet and cushioned surfaces, for example in playground, help to reduce the impact forces
By increasing the impact time
28
How do you seatbelt and airbag help to decrease the impact forces
By spreading the force across the chest and increasing the impact time
29
What can conservation of momentum be used for, after car experiences impact
The speed of the car
30
Why are side impact bars and crumble zones installed
To give way in an impact and so increase the impact time
31
When with an object by classified as elastic
If you're returned to its original shape after removing the force deforming it
32
What is the extension of an elastic object
The difference between the length of the object and its original length
33
What is the extension of the spring is directly proportional to
To the force applied to it as long as the limit of proportionality is not exceeded, this relationship is linear
34
What happens beyond the limit of proportionality in an elastic object
The extension of the spring is no longer proportional to the applied force, this relationship becomes non-linear
35
What is the normal at a point on a mirror
A line drawn perpendicular to the mirror
36
The law of reflection states:
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
37
For a light ray reflected by a plane mirror what is the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence and the angle between the incident ray and the normal The angle for flexion is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal
38
Specular reflection
His reflection in a single direction without scattering
39
Diffuse reflection
It's reflection from a rough surface that scatters the light
40
Refraction
Is the changing direction of the waves when they travel across a boundary from one medium to another (different densities)
41
What happens when the light ray Travels from air to glass
The light grey with cracks as it covers from air into glass, the angle of refraction is less than the angle of incidence
42
What happens on the light rail travels from glass into air
As it travels from glass into at the angle of a fraction is more than the angle of incidence
43
How does the wavelength of light differ when you move from Violet to read across the visible spectrum
The wavelength increases
44
What does the colour of the surface depend on
On the pigments of the surface materials and the wavelength of light that pigments absorb
45
A translucent object...
Let's light passes through it but scatters or reflects the light inside it
46
A transparent object...
Let's all the light that enters it pastorate and does not start or affect the lights inside the object
47
What do you convex lenses do
Focuses parallel rays to a point called the principal focus (by coverging them)
48
What are examples of where convex lenses are used
A converging lens is used as a magnifying glass and in a camera to form a clear image of a distant object
49
What do you concave lenses do
Makes parallel rays spread out as if they had come from a point called the principal focus
50
Find me a diverging lens be used
To correct short sight
51
What is the focal length
The distance from the centre of the lens to the principal focus
52
When is a real image formed
I real image is formed by a convex lens if the object is further away than the principal focus
53
When is it a virtual image formed
A virtual image is formed by a convex lens if the object is nearer than the principal focus
54
Equation for magnification
Magnification= image height / object height
55
What happens to an object when it is placed between a convex lens and its principal focus
The image formed is virtual upright magnified and on the same side of the lens as the object
56
What is the convex lens in a camera used for
To form a real image of an object
57
What is the convex lens in a magnifying glass form
It forms a virtual image of an object
