P2 Forces Revision Flashcards
Distance travelled =
speed x time
Balanced forces produce……
constant velocity
Unbalanced forces produce …..
acceleration in the direction of the force
Vector quantities
have size and direction
Scalar quantities
only have size
The gradient of a distance time graph tells you …
the velocity
The gradient of a velocity time graph tells you …
the acceleration
The unit of velocity is ….
m/s
The unit of force is ….
N
The area under a velocity time graph tells you ….
the distance travelled
Stopping distance =
Thinking distance + Braking distance
Thinking distance is affected by ….
things that affect the driver (tiredness, alcohol) and the speed of the vehicle
Braking distance is affected by ….
things that affect the car brakes or the road surface as well as the speed of the vehicle
Terminal velocity occurs when …….
Weight and Air Resistance forces are balanced
What happens to air resistance as speed increases?
Air resistance increases
