P2 - Forces Flashcards
Newton’s first law
An a one time remains at rest,or moves at a steady velocity unless a force acts upon its
Newton’s second law
An object accelerates if a resultant force is acting upon it
Force (N) = mass (Kg) x Acceleration(m/s^2)
Newton’s 3rd law
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Law of conservation of momentum
Momentum is conserved
Vector
Has magnitude and direction
Eg-displacement, velocity
Scalar
Has magnitude only
Eg-distance, speed
Distance time graph
-gradient gives speed
Distance in y, time on X
Velocity time graph
Gradient gives you acceleration
Area = distance
Equation of motion
V^2-U^2 = 2as
Forces
Measured in Newton’s
Can be contact or non contact
Shown force arrow indicating size and direction.
Eg-Friction,weight,upthrust, drag, reaction
Equation for kinetic energy
Ke = 0.5MV2
Momentum=
Momentum = massxvelocity
Work=
Force x distance
Power=
=work done / time
Force on spring =
Spring constant x extension
