Q

Explain why after the bumper cars crash into each other they stop

A

Total momentum is zero after the collision as the momentum before the collision was also zero. the momentum of each car before the collision was equal and opposite. And momentum is conserved

Q

Explain why coil rotate when there is a current in a coil in a simple motor

A

The current in a wire in the wire causes a magnetic field to be produced.
The current is in opposite directions in each side of the coil therefore the force act in opposite directions on either side of the coil this causes the coil to rotate
The current on each side is the same direction

Q

An aeroplane has a lift force (upwards) weight force (down) and air resistant and thrust force ( forwards force) when it is flying at constant speed which are equal.
Explain how the forces should change from equal to the aeroplane can land

A

Thrust should decrease so there is a resultant force in the opposite direction of flying.
And lift force should decrease so that there is a larger weight force creating a downwards resultant force

Q

Explain why light refracts as it passes from air into glass

A

The speed in glass of the wave is lower so the edge of the wave front entering the glass would slow down however the rest of the wave body would still travel at A higher speeds in air therefore causing a change in direction

Q

Explain why a radiographer would stand behind a protective screen when taking images

A

Taking lots of X-rays will give a high dosage of X-rays which will increase the risk of cancer so the screen will absorb some of the rays

Q

How are electrical signals in the transmitter produces a signal in the recieve era in a house

Q

Explain why an empty van will have a shorter stopping distance than a loaded van

A

The same maximum
force is applied by the brakes
as less mass means the deceleration is greater so the breaking distance is shorter

Q

A circuit is attached to a balance
When the circuit switch is closed the redaing on the balance increases . Why does this show an upwards force on the wire in the circuit .

A

The downwards force on the balance increases so the wire must experience an equal and opposite force

Q

The speed of a wave is affected by the depth of the water in a ripple tank.
The deeper the water the faster the wave
Explain how the depth of the water affect the wavelength of the wave if the frequancy is constant

A

Deeper water equals longer wavelength as speed increases and frequancy is constant

Q

Why is an em used instead of a permanent magnet to separate steel from non magnetic materials

A

Em is easy to demagnetise so it is easy to remove the separated metal

22
Q

Name 2 metal other than iron and steel that are attracted to the em magnet

A

Cobalt
Nickel

23
Q

How doe infrared cameras show parts of the hand at diff temp

A

Diff temp of hand emits diff intensities of infrared radiation which are represented as diff colours on the camera surfaces

24
Q

Tungesten has the highest melting point of all metals explain why it is used in X-ray machines.

A

It makes the machine more powerful
As some of the energy of the el e tronos cause heating therefore increasing the temp
However tungesten allows more electrons to collide per second compared to any other metal

25
Q

An aeroplane accelerates from a low speed to high with the engine at max power.
Explain why acc is not constant

A

At max power the forward forc of engine is constant therefore as it accelerates the air resistance increases.
And resultant force = force from engine - air resistance
Therefore resultant force decreases
And acc is directly prop to resultant force so acc is not constant

26
Q

What is weight

A

The force acting on an object due to gravity

27
Q

What is the weight of an object depend on

A

The gravitational field strength at the point where the object is

28
Q

What is the weight of an object directly proportional to you

A

The mass of an object

29
Q

How is weight remeasured

A

A newton meter

30
Q

When is work done on an object

A

When a force causes an object to move through a distance

31
Q

What is velocity

A

Speed in a given direction

32
Q

What is Newton‘s first law

A

If the resultant force acting on an object 80 the object will either remain stationary or if it is moving it will continue to move at the same speed in same direction

33
Q

What is newton second law

A

The acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant of force acting on an object

34
Q

What is the acceleration of an object inversely proportional to you according to Newton‘s second law

A

The mass of the object

35
Q

What is Newton’s third law

A

When two objects interact they exert equal and opposite forces on each other

36
Q

What do peoples reaction time vary from

A

0.2 and 0.9

37
Q

What is the amplitude of a wave

A

The maximum displacement of a point on a wave away from its undisturbed positioning

38
Q

What are electromagnetic waves

A

They are transverse waves transfer energy from the source of the waves to and absorber

39
Q

How are radio waves produced

A

Oscillations in electrical circuits

40
Q

What happens when radio waves are absorbed

A

They create an alternating current with the same frequency as the wave itself

41
Q

How are electromagnetic waves generated

A

Changes in atoms and the nuclei of atoms

42
Q

What is radiation. dose

A

It is a measure of the risk of harm from an exposure of radiation of the body

43
Q

What is radiation measured in

A

Sieverts

44
Q

What is visible light used for

A

Fibre optic communications

45
Q

What are the poles of a magnet

A

Places where the magnetic forces are strongest for the magnet

46
Q

What does the strength of a magnetic field depend on on a magnet

A

The distance from the magnet

47
Q

Explain the motor Effect

A

When a conductor such as the wire is carrying current and is placed in a magnetic field that is produced by a magnet the magnet and the wire will exert a force on each other

48
Q

What is magnetic flux density measured in

A

In teslas T

49
Q

A toy crane uses an electromagnet to pick up and move metal blocks explain how it is able to do that

A

By completing the circuit the electromagnet turns on. And current flows through the coil therefore a magnetic field is produced around the coil and therefore the iron core becomes magnetised.
When you move the electromagnet close to the blocks the blocks will be attracted to it switching off the current will switch off the electromagnet releasing the block

50
Q

Explain how radio waves reaching a car aerial would produce signals in the electric circuit of the car radio

A

The car aerial will absorb the radio waves the electrons will vibrate therefore creating an alternating current with the same frequency at the radio eight

51
Q

A man is swimming force A is the forward force and force be is the backwards force what happens to force b. When force a increases

A

The resultant forward force would be greater therefore it will cause demand to accelerate however as the forward force increases the force be also increases until it is equal and he will no longer accelerate. However he was still moving at a constant velocity which is higher
