Q

Moving objects with mass are said to have

A

Momentum

17
Q

State the law of consevation of momentum

A

In a closed system the total momentum before an event is equal to the total momentum after an event

18
Q

State the equation that links gfs mass and weight

A

Weight =gfs x mass

19
Q

state the equation that links distance force and work done

A

Work done= force x s

20
Q

State the equation that links extension force and spring constant

A

F=Ke

Force=spring constant x extension

21
Q

Equation linking acceleration,change in velocity and time taken

A

a= 🔼V ➗ t

Acceleration=change in velocity divided by time

22
Q

Equation linking momentum mass and velocity

A

P=m x v
Momentum= mass x velocity

23
Q

newtons 1st law

A

inertia
an object will remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed, unless acted on by a resulatant force

or

an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force. If all the forces are balanced, the resultant force is zero.

24
Q

Newtons second law
equation

A

resulant force=mass x acceleration

F=ma

25
Q

newtons third law (most crucial)
e

A

every action has an equal and opposite reaction
p=m x v
